Question

the diagram below shows the distances a car moves for each time interval of 1 second. which statements about the car are true? check all that apply diagram 3 the car moves 3 meters every second the car moves 3 additional meters every second the cars distance traveled increases every second the car is positively accelerating the car is negatively accelerating the cars velocity is constant the cars velocity is increasing

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze distance - time data

The car moves 3m in the first second, 6m in the second second and 9m in the third second.

Step2: Evaluate velocity

Velocity \(v=\frac{d}{t}\). Since the distance \(d\) covered in each 1 - s interval is increasing (\(3m,6m,9m\)), the velocity is increasing.

Step3: Determine acceleration

Acceleration \(a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\). As velocity \(v\) is increasing with time \(t\), acceleration \(a>0\), so the car is positively accelerating.

Answer:

The car's distance traveled increases every second
The car is positively accelerating
The car's velocity is increasing
