Question
Use the graph to answer the 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?

The quantity that is increasing for the object represented by Line B is the velocity only.
To determine which quantity or quantities are increasing for the object represented by Line B, we need to understand the information provided in the graph.
Line B slopes upward from the origin to the upper right corner. This indicates that the velocity of the object is increasing over time, as it moves further away from the origin.
Velocity represents the speed at which an object is moving in a particular direction. Therefore, we can conclude that velocity is increasing for the object represented by Line B.
Additionally, the graph does not provide any information regarding the position or acceleration of the object. The position of the object refers to its location in space, and acceleration represents how quickly the velocity of an object changes.
Since the graph only shows a relationship between velocity and time, we cannot determine whether the position or acceleration of the object is increasing or decreasing.
Therefore, the correct answer is: velocity only.
