What type of line is always found on a graph of constant speed?
it depends on what the graph is. if it is a distance vs time graph, the line will be a line with the slope being the speed/total time if it is a speed vs. time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=the speed if it is an acceleration vs time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=0
Is it false that a distance-versus-time graph will never show a horizontal line?
It is false
Which shape fits a distance vs time graph of a motionless object?
A horizontal line.
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
What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?
A straight horizontal one does.
Can a distance versus time graph ever show a horizontal line?
if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal
A distance time graph for acceleration is always a?
a horizontal line :)
In a distance vs time graph if the line is perfectly horizontal what does that mean about the velocity of the object?
horizontal
What does a horizontal line on a speed time graph represent?
That the object is moving 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 feature of a distance time graph represent speed?
The gradient (slope) of the line on the graph.
What does a curved line represent on a time vs distance graph?
The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.
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.

A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.

It is false

A horizontal line.
