Which statement accurately describes the motion of the object in the graph above?
O It is at rest for 3 seconds before moving at constant speed for 10 seconds.
It is at rest for 3 seconds before moving at constant speed for 4 seconds.
Olt is moving from 0 cm to 5 cm at constant speed of 7 cm/s.
O it is moving from 0 cm to 3 cm at a constant speed of 3 cm/s.

    The object moves forward at 5 m/s, stops, and then changes velocity.

Explanation:

With the information given in the question we can graph the points (image attached).

As we can observe, in the first segment of the graph the velocity is increasing linearly (at a constant rate) and is 5 m/s, then in the second segment we can see the position of the object remains the same from second 2 to second 4, which means the object is stopped.

Finally, in the third and last segment, we can observe a change in velocity (at a negative constant rate, because is decreasing), which is decreasing until the object stops.
