If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
constant speed
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indacate?
that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.

How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?
This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
A straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
The straight horizontal line on a graph is referred to as the x-axis. The vertical line on a graph is the y-axis.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
constant speed
In a graph showing time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis What would a straight horizontal line indicate?
The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.
What does a horizontal line on a velocity time graph show for acceleration?
Any curved line will indicate a change in acceleration. Straight lines with slope indicate a steady velocity and straight lines with zero slope indicate a lack of motion.If the X axis (left to right) is for time and the Y axis (up and down) is for speed, it would curve up.
A graph has time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The given speed is constant for the given period
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indacate?
that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D
When plotting data on a graph showing distance verus time what would a horizontal line indicate?
time is normally the horizontal line
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
What would indicate a horizontal line on a speed graph?
That whatever is moving has stopped, if it is a speed-time graph. If it is, then you measure the horizontal line with the x axis which is presumably time, then you can find out how long the thing stopped.
