An object’s velocity’s rate of change

An object's acceleration is the rate at which its velocity changes over time. It is the rate of change of an object's velocity. Therefore, the correct response is "An object’s velocity’s rate of change."

The correct answer is: An object’s velocity’s rate of change.

Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. In other words, it measures how quickly an object's speed or direction of motion is changing. When an object's velocity increases, it is said to be accelerating. Similarly, when an object's velocity decreases, it is said to be decelerating or experiencing negative acceleration. Acceleration is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude (the numerical value) and direction.

The object is accelerating.
The object is accelerating.

The object is slowing down.
The object is slowing down.

The object is curving.
The object is curving.

The object is moving at a steady speed.

Based on the given information of a graph showing an object's distance traveled over time, it is not possible to determine the object's acceleration, if it is slowing down, curving, or moving at a steady speed. The graph only shows the object's distance, not its velocity or acceleration. Therefore, the correct response is "It is not possible to determine the object's characteristics from the given graph."
