Yes. The slope, or rate, is constant. The rate being represented is speed. If the slope is a negative constant, the object is losing distance (going towards) from the orgin at at a constant speed.
Yes. Speed is the rate at which distance changes over time. In calculus terms v = dx/dt, or the slope of the distance vs. time graph. If the slope of the distance vs. time graph is a straight line, the speed is constant.
Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
straight line
a sloped straight line
On a distance-time graph, a constant speed is represented by a straight, diagonal line with a constant slope. This slope indicates that the object is covering the same distance for each unit of time, meaning its speed is consistent throughout the motion.
The answer is TRUE because it is a straight line as the graph shows below. http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/physics/apphynet/Measurement/Images/d_vs_t2_graph.gif

It means that either the distance is measured from the starting-line and the object is moving forward, or else the distance is measured from the finish-line and the object is moving backwards, because the distance is growing as time goes on. If the upward sloping diagonal line is straight, it means the speed is constant. (not velocity)
Yes. Speed is the rate at which distance changes over time. In calculus terms v = dx/dt, or the slope of the distance vs. time graph. If the slope of the distance vs. time graph is a straight line, the speed is constant.
On a distance-time graph, a straight line with a constant positive slope represents constant speed. The steeper the line, the greater the speed. Time is on the x-axis and distance is on the y-axis.
If the distance-time graph is a straight line with a constant angle with the time axis, it indicates that the body is moving with a constant speed. The slope of the line represents the speed of the body.
Yes. A straight line indicates constant speed =dy/dt= kt.
a straight line with a positive slope
The distance-time graph for uniform motion of an object is a straight line with a constant slope. This indicates that the object is covering equal distances in equal time intervals, showing a constant speed.
Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.
The distance-time graph for an object moving with a constant speed is a straight line with a positive slope. This indicates that the object is covering equal distances in equal intervals of time.
