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
A distance-time graph indicates that an object moves 100 m in 4 s and then remains at rest for 6 s What is the average speed of the object?
For the time interval described, the total distance moved is 100 m, and the total time is 10 sec.The average speed over that interval is (distance)/(time) = 100/10 = 10 m/s
What can you say about motion of a body who's distance time graph is straight line parallel to X axis?
distance = speed x time the speed is the slope of the line which if parallel to X axis is zero - that means speed = 0 and distance is not changing with time, so the object is at rest ( not moving) relative to the observer
What is the nature of the distance time graphs for a body at rest?
As the body is at rest, its distance from some point is not changing, so the graph will be a straight line parallel to the time axis (including the possibility of being on the time axis).
What is the distance covered by a freely falling object 5 seconds after it is dropped from rest?
0.7848 meter
What can you say about the motion of an object whose distance time graph is a straight parallel to the time axis?
object is at rest
How do you tell form a distance-time graph when an object is at rest?
The graph is parallel to the time axis, normally the horizontal axis.
What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?
A straight horizontal one does.
If an object is at rest how do you graph it?
It depends on what type of graph you use. If it is a line graph, and time is on the bottom and distance is on the left, it will result in a flat line from where ever it stopped.
What can you say about the motion of an object whose distance time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?
If the line is parallel to the time axis, this means that the distance is not changing, so the object is not moving.
What is the slope in the distance time graph when the body is at rest?
the slope of distance time graph gives us velocity but when the body is at rest it will be zero
Does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is moving at a constant speed?
You cannot. A distance vs time graph only measures radial distance - that is, distance from the origin to the object. If the object is going around the origin along a circular path, the distance vs time graph will not show any change in distance.The [incorrect] answer that you are required to give is that the graph will be a horizontal line during that period. But as explained above, the horizontal graph only means the object has no movement towards or away from the origin, not that it has no movement.
What can you say about the motion of an object whose distance time graph is a straight line parallel to time axis?
The object is stationary as its velocity is zero. The velocity of an object is the gradient of its distance-time graph and as the graph is a horizontal straight line, its gradient is zero. The object is stationary also as its distance from the time axis is not increasing.
The motion represented by a horizontal line on a distance time graph?
It represents that the object is remaining at a fixed distance. Typically that means it is not moving.Motion in a horizontal line by distance can be shown on a graph. This is what tells 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 indacate?
that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D
What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?
It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity
Sketch a distance time graph as when a body is at rest and when a body is moving with constant speed?
about a hour
