Question

question 7 (1 point) (01.09 lc) an object is moving away from the point of reference. which of the following lines would represent this motion on a position - time graph?
○ a a zero horizontal line
○ b a non - zero horizontal line
○ c an increasing diagonal line
○ d a decreasing diagonal line

Explanation:

• For a position - time graph:
• A horizontal line (zero or non - zero) means the object's position is not changing with time, so the object is at rest. So options a and b are incorrect.
• An increasing diagonal line means that as time (x - axis) increases, the position (y - axis) of the object is increasing. This represents motion where the object is moving away from the reference point.
• A decreasing diagonal line would mean the object is moving towards the reference point as position decreases with time.

Answer:

c. An increasing diagonal line
