A graph showing zero slope for the position vs time always indicates that the object is not moving?

If the speed/time graph slops negatively, that's an indication that the speed
is decreasing, i.e. the object is slowing down. The negative slop is also called
negative acceleration, since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

NO!!! It means that the object is decelerating(slowing down)
On a velocity time graph for an object to be stationary, it will be an horizontal line, co-linear with the x-axis (zero velocity). Time is continuous.
On a velocity time graph a positive slope is an object accelerating. An horizontal line above the x-axis , is the object is moving at constant velocity. A negative slope is the object decelerating. When the line touches the x-axis, the object is stationary. The area between the graph line and the x-axis is equivalent to the distance travelled.
NB The x-axis is the time axis and starts at the origin (0,0) hence it is deemed to be at zero velocity (stationary)

Which word indicates moving a limb away from the body?
Abduction
Which best describes a kinetic theory?
atoms and molecules are always moving
What is the force acting on an object that causes change?
Unbalanced forces causes object's position to change, in which is known as acceleration. According to Newton's first law, an object will always be in the same position regardless if it is moving or not, unless an unbalanced force happens on it.
What does rising atmospheric pressure usually indicates?
a high pressure system is moving into an area
Increasing air pressure indicates what types of air is moving in your area?
cold,dry air
A graph showing zero slope for the velocity vs. time always indicates that the object is not moving?
No. It always indicates that the object is not accelerating.
A graph showing zero slope for the velocity vs time always indicates that the object is not moving?
No. It always indicates that the object is not accelerating.
When somthing move does it always change in position and direction?
When something is moving or in motion, it can be changing position and direction. However, the object does not have to be doing both at the same time.
Does the position-time graph of an object moving with a constant average velocity is always a straight line?
yes
What are 10 ways to proper care in handling the microscope?
While moving the microscope from one place to another, always keep it in an upright position.
Which word indicates moving a limb away from the body?
Abduction
What is stationary position?
Stationary mean "not moving" so it must mean the the position is not moving or stay the same place.
Are electric currents magnetic?
A magnetic field is always associated with a moving charge. So, if current is there, it must be showing the magnetic effects though these are too small of daily relevance..
Does a red shift means that are moving closer to earth?
No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
