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.

The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.

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.


What are the key characteristics of objects in horizontal circular motion?

Objects in horizontal circular motion experience a centripetal force that keeps them moving in a circular path. They have a constant speed but changing velocity due to the direction of their motion. Additionally, they experience acceleration towards the center of the circle, known as centripetal acceleration.


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


In projectile motion What Angle would horizontal and vertical distance be equal?

Can't say. It depends on the release velocity (muzzle velocity).The maximum horizontal distance always results from an angle of 45 degrees, regardless of the release velocity.


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
