Question

examine the diagram below. motion of an object which of the following statements is true of the above graph? a. an object is standing still at a distance of 6 meters from the origin. b. an object is moving at a constant speed of 6 m/s away from the origin. c. an object is moving at a variable speed away from the origin. d. an object is standing still on the origin.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

The distance - time graph shows a horizontal line at \(y = 6\) (distance \(d=6\) meters) for different values of time \(t\) (from \(t = 0\) to \(t=5\) seconds).

Step2: Recall the meaning of graph features

In a distance - time graph, a horizontal line means the distance of the object from the origin is not changing with time. So the object is at rest. And the object is at a distance of 6 meters from the origin.

Answer:

A. An object is standing still at a distance of 6 meters from the origin.
