What does a horizontal slope of a distance versus time graph indicate about an objects motion?
AmyRamrezgp3688
It is a measure of speed of the object, but only in the radial direction: that is, towards or away from the point from which distance is measured. The object could be going around that point in circular motion and the graph would show absolutely nothing.

Does a straight horizontal line indicate uniform motion?
no, a straight horizontal line doesn't indicates uniform motion
When you graph the motion of an object you put what on the horizontal and the what on the vertical axis?
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
What does the slope of a distance vs time graph indicate about an object's motion?
instantaneous velocity
When you graph the motion of an object you put on the horizontal axis and on the vertical axis speed time?
time, distance
Does a straight horizontal line indicate uniform motion?
no, a straight horizontal line doesn't indicates uniform motion
What two things change when an objects in motion?
horizontal and vertical position
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 you graph the motion of an object you put what on the horizontal and the what on the vertical axis?
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
What is the motion of objects moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity a. horizontal velocity b. directrix c. vertical velocity d. projectile motion?
horizontal velocity
How do you describe an object's motion?
An objects motion or speed is distance divided by time.
How can you explain an object's motion using time and distance?
An objects speed or motion is measured by distance divided by time.
Why does gravity control motion?
Gravity exerts a force on objects; forces change the motion of objects.
How do you know there is no motion on a distance time-graph?
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?
no motion
How does the unbalanced force of gravity affect the horizontal and vertical velocities of an objects in projectile motion?
well...projectile motion is made of two different motions, or movements- horizontal movement and vertical movement so... i guess that it
What is State which one objects distance from another's another is changing?
Motion
