The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement regarding the position-time graph and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "The slope on a position-time graph is representative of the acceleration of the object." - The slope of a position-time graph represents the velocity of the object, not the acceleration. - Mathematically, velocity (v) is defined as the change in position (dx) over the change in time (dt), which is represented by the slope of the graph (tan θ). - Therefore, **Statement 1 is false.** ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "A straight, diagonal line on a position-time graph is representative of an object with a constant velocity." - A straight diagonal line indicates that the slope (and thus the velocity) is constant throughout the motion. - Since the slope does not change, the object is moving with a constant velocity. - Therefore, **Statement 2 is true.** ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 3 **Statement 3:** "If an object is at rest, then the position-time graph must be a horizontal line located on the time-axis." - A horizontal line on a position-time graph indicates that the position does not change with time, meaning the object is at rest. - However, this horizontal line does not necessarily have to be located on the time-axis (i.e., at position zero). It can be at any constant position. - Therefore, **Statement 3 is false.** ### Conclusion - **Statement 1:** False - **Statement 2:** True - **Statement 3:** False Thus, the correct answer is that only Statement 2 is true. ### Final Answer The correct option is the one that states: Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true, Statement 3 is false. ---
