If a line is decreasing on a velocity v time graph what does it mean?
That an object is losing speed. It is experiencing negative acceleration.
Does a horizontal line on a velocity vs time graph mean an object has stopped?
Not necessarily. If the horizontal line is laying on top of the x-axis, then the speed is zero at any time, and the object isn't moving. But if the horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis, then the object is moving with constant speed.
What if your data doesn't graph into a straight line?
Many sets of data do not form into straight lines. If by "What if" you mean how to plot a line onto this graph. Then simply draw a curved line of best fit.
With regard to question16 above could any part of the speed line ever become perfectly vertical why or why not?
A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. If the speed is steadily increasing, what will the line representing speed look like on the graph? Could any part of the speed line ever become perfictly vertical? why or why not
What does the slope in a speed time graph mean?
it means that the object is gradually getting faster
What does it mean if a line is flat on a distance-time graph?
Time is plotted on the X-axis. Speed or velocity is plotted on the Y-axis. A straight horizontal line on a speed-time graph means that speed is constant. It is not changing over time. A straight line does not mean that the object is not moving!
What does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?
Constant speed..
What does a horizantal line mean on a speed time graph?
I would like to state first that you misspelled horizontal. The answer to your question is Constant speed.
On a distance versus time graph what does a flat line mean?
Standing still or not moving
What does the downward sloping line in a speed graph mean?
If you are analyzing speed with respect to time, then you are decelerating.
What does it mean when a distance-time graph is straight line?
It means that the object in question is moving at a constant speed.If the graph is a straight horizontal line, then the speed is zero.
What does a straight line mean in a distance time graph?
Constant speed. Zero acceleration.
What does a horizantal line on a speed vs time graph mean?
It means that the object in question is travelling at constant speed.
What does a stright diagonal line on a distance time graph mean?
It means that the speed of the object is constant.
If a line is decreasing on a velocity v time graph what does it mean?
That an object is losing speed. It is experiencing negative acceleration.
What is data point on graph mean?
line graph
Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?
BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.
