Which statements can be supported by using a position-time graph? Check all that apply? A negative slope results when an individ
ual is moving toward the origin. A straight line on the graph means the individual is moving at the same velocity. A positive slope results when an individual is moving away from the origin. The slope of the line gives the velocity of the individual. The speed is an individual cannot be determined from this type of graph.
The statements that can be supported by using a position time graph are;
• A negative slope results when an individual is moving towards the origin.
• A positive slope results when an individual is moving away from the origin.
• The slope of the line gives the velocity of the individual.
Explanation
The vertical axis of the position time graph represent the position of the object. The slope of a position graph represent the velocity of the object. When the line representing the gradient is horizontal, the velocity is zero and the object is momentarily at rest. A curvature in a position time graph represents an accelerating object.
Reduction is to bring down the size or value of intensity of a certain thing. Decrease is to decrease or “bring down” of a quantity or to become smaller.
A plant survives in a tropical rain forest. When placed in a temperate forest, it dies within a year. The most likely characteristic of this plant is it needs very stable weather.
