Question

position vs time graph
position vs time
which statements describe the motion of the object represented by the graph? select three options.
the object is moving away from the origin.
the object is moving towards the origin.
the object started at the origin.
the object started at 2 meters.
the object is traveling at a constant velocity.
(graph: position (m) on y - axis from 0 to 12, time (s) on x - axis from 0 to 5. the line starts at (0, 2) and goes up to (5, around 9))

Explanation:

Step1: Check starting position

At time \( t=0 \), position is 2m (graph intercepts y-axis at 2).

Step2: Check direction of motion

Position increases with time (positive slope), so moving away from origin.

Step3: Check velocity consistency

Graph is a straight line, so velocity (slope) is constant.

Answer:

The object is moving away from the origin, The object started at 2 meters, The object is traveling at a constant velocity
