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.

Is the velocity of a horizontal moving object constant?

Only if the direction is constant and the speed is constant.


What does a horizontal line on a speed time graph represent?

That the object is moving at a constant speed


Does a horizontal line on a velocity vs time graph mean an object has stopped?

Not necessarily. If the horizontal line is laying on top of the x-axis, then the speed is zero at any time, and the object isn't moving. But if the horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis, then the object is moving with constant speed.


Can you tell from a velocity-time graph whether an object is stationary?

If the curve is horizontal, then the speed is constant. If that horizontal graph lies on the x-axis, then the constant speed is zero, and the object is stationary.


What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?

If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).


What are diifferent word for object?

a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.


A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not moving.?

False. It means it is slowing Down!


Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?

determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.


A speed time graph forms a straight line which is an example of?

If it is a horizontal straight line, it means the object is moving at constant velocity. If it is a sloped line, it means the object is accelerating.


A horozontal line on a distance time graph means the object is doing what?

A horizontal line means that the distance is not changing, therefore we can infer that the object in question is stationary - i.e. not moving.


How fast is an object going if its speed and time graph is horizontal?

An object can only gain speed if there is a net force on it. If a net horizontal force acting on an object is large enough, or acts for a long enough time, the object can aquire a speed up to just under the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s.
