Does a horizontal line on a distance time graph show constant speed?
No. It shows zero speed. Velocity is distance/unit time. The slope of the line shows change in distance / change in time. Since distance never changes as time changes, the change in distance is zero. Alternatively, the slope of a horizontal line is zero. If zero speed is considered "constant", then yes, it does show constant speed but the speed is zero.
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
For motion along a straight line a horizontal line on a speed over time graph indicates graph indicates that what is zero?
For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.
What does a straight line mean in a distance time graph?
Constant speed. Zero acceleration.
What is the equation of a line with a slope of zero?
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. The equation of a horizontal line is y = a.

During the time that the hare is stopped what is the slope of his line?
Zero *:)
What speed is a horizontal straight line motion on a position-time?
Zero.

For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.
Why do bar graphs have to start at zero but line graphs do not?
line graphs show a change over time
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
How do you write the year zero after 1 B.C. and before 1 A.D. on a time line?
There is no year zero in the Gregorian calendar.
Where is the prime meridian time line?
This is the Zero line of longitude that passes through Greenwich Observatory in London, England.
What is the direction of a line with a slope of zero?
A line with a slope of zero is a flat, vertical line.
How does the distace versus time graphlook for an object that has zero acceleration?
In this case, you will have a straight line.
What does a straight line mean in a distance time graph?
Constant speed. Zero acceleration.
