Which statements can be supported by using a position-time graph? check all that apply. a negative slope results when an individual is moving toward the origin. a horizontal 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 of an individual cannot be determined from this type of graph.

A negative slope results when an individual is moving toward 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:

In a position-time graph, the position is represented on the y-axis (distance from the origin), while the time is represented on the x-axis. Let's analyze each statement:

A negative slope results when an individual is moving toward the origin. --> TRUE. In fact, a negative slope means that the value on the y is decreasing as the time passes, so the distance of the individual is decreasing as the time increases, therefore the person is moving towards the origin.

A horizontal line on the graph means the individual is moving at the same velocity. --> FALSE. A horizontal line means that the position of the individual is constant, so the person is not moving.

A positive slope results when an individual is moving away from the origin. --> TRUE. In this case, the value on the y is increasing with time, so the distance of the person from the origin is increasing with time.

The slope of the line gives the velocity of the individual. --> TRUE. In a position-time graph, the velocity of the individual is equal to the ratio between the displacement and the time taken. But the displacement corresponds to the increase in the y-value, while the time corresponds to the increase in the x-value, so the velocity corresponds to the slope of the graph. In order to know velocity, we must also know the direction of the motion.

The speed of an individual cannot be determined from this type of graph. --> FALSE. The speed is equal to the slope of the position-time graph (in fact, the speed is the magnitude of the velocity)

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
