Use the graph to answer the question.

Question

A velocity versus time line graph shows three lines. The vertical axis is labeled, velocity, and the horizontal axis is labeled, time. Line A moves to the right from a point on the vertical axis above the origin parallel to the horizontal axis. Line B slopes upward from the origin to the upper right corner. Line C moves to the right from a point on the vertical axis below the origin parallel to the horizontal axis.

Which quantity or quantities is/are increasing for the object represented by Line B?

(1 point)

velocity and acceleration

Answer 1

For Line B on the velocity versus time graph, which slopes upward from the origin to the upper right corner, the following can be deduced:

• Velocity: Since Line B is sloping upwards, the velocity is increasing over time.
• Position: Since velocity is increasing and is above zero, the position of the object must also be increasing (it is moving forward).
• Acceleration: Because the line is sloping upwards, it indicates that the object's velocity is increasing at a constant rate, which means there is positive acceleration.

Therefore, the correct response is:

velocity, position, and acceleration
