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

It indicates that the object is not moving, since

the distance doesn't change with time.

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.


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.


When plotting data on a graph showing distance verus time what would a horizontal line indicate?

time is normally the horizontal line


What does horizonal line on a speed timev graph indicate?

A horizontal line on a speed vs time graph indicates 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 indicate?

constant speed


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.


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 a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

Constant speed ... zero acceleration.


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.


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 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.


What does a horizontal line represents?

On a graph, a horizontal line reprents no change in data.
