Responses

Its acceleration is 0 from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.
Its acceleration is 0 from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.

Its position is constant after 60 seconds.
Its position is constant after 60 seconds.

Its velocity is zero after 60 seconds.
Its velocity is zero after 60 seconds.

It's acceleration is positive from 0 seconds to 60 seconds.

Answer 1

To answer your question regarding the object represented in the velocity versus time graph, let's analyze the possible statements:

1. "Its acceleration is 0 from 0 seconds to 60 seconds."

   • This statement would be true if the line on the graph is horizontal (constant velocity) during this time.

2. "Its position is constant after 60 seconds."

   • This statement implies that the object stops moving, which would only be true if its velocity is zero after 60 seconds.

3. "Its velocity is zero after 60 seconds."

   • This would be true if the graph shows a line at zero velocity after 60 seconds.

4. "It's acceleration is positive from 0 seconds to 60 seconds."

   • This statement would only be true if the velocity is increasing (the line on the graph is sloped upwards during this time).

Without the actual graph to analyze, I cannot definitively determine which statement is correct.

However, if we assume from the statements provided that the first statement is true (a horizontal line on the graph), then the object's acceleration would indeed be zero during that interval.

Please review the graph to see which line it represents and select the response that corresponds to the behavior of the object. If it shows consistent velocity, the first statement would be correct. If it’s increasing, then the last statement about positive acceleration would be true. If it reaches zero velocity, then the last two statements about position or velocity would apply.
