The graph shows distance versus time for an object.
Which of the following correctly describes the object's motion?
a
The object is moving with increasing velocity.
b
The object is moving with constant acceleration.
c
The object is moving with constant velocity.
d
The object is moving with increasing acceleration.
Unfortunately, as text-based AI, I cannot view physical graphs or images. However, I can help you interpret the nature of an object's motion from a distance vs. time graph assuming you provide a description of the graph.
For a distance vs. time graph:
- If the line on the graph is straight and slopes upwards, the object is moving with constant velocity (option c).
- If the line is curved and slopes increasingly upwards (i.e., the slope of the line is getting steeper), the object is moving with increasing velocity, which usually implies constant acceleration (option b) if the curve is a parabola, or it might be increasing acceleration (option d) if the curve steepens more and more as you move along the x-axis.
- If the line is curved but not a consistent curve, that could suggest the object is moving with increasing acceleration (option d).
Without seeing the graph, if you tell me more about the shape of the curve or the line, I can help you determine which of the options a-d correctly describes the object's motion.
