Question

Which statement accurately describes the motion of the object in the graph above over 10 seconds? Group of answer choices The object is at rest for 3 seconds and then decreases velocity to 1 cm/s for 3 seconds. The object is at rest for 4 seconds and then moves forward for 4 seconds at 1 cm/s. The object moves forward at 1 cm/s, stops, and then increases velocity to 2 cm/s. The object moves forward at 1 cm/s, stops, and then continues at the same velocity.

Answer 1

The object moves forward at 1 cm/s, stops, and then increases velocity to 2 cm/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not A because velocity doesn't decrease

Not B because it is not at rest for 4 seconds

C is correct

Not D because it is not always at 1 cm/s

Answer 2

Object appears to move forward at 1 cm/sec, then the velocity drops to zero for 3 sec and then moves forward at 2 cm/sec (11 - 3) / (10 - 6) = 2 cm/sec
