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?

Yes, if the velocity-time graph shows a horizontal line at zero velocity, then the object is stationary. This would indicate that the object is not moving.


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

The net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration. This net force is responsible for maintaining the object's constant acceleration as it moves along the surface.


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 on a distance-time graph means the object is not changing its position over time, i.e., it is stationary or moving at a constant speed.


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

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


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.
