What else can I help you with?
Does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is moving at a constant speed?
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.
What does a horizontal line represent on a position vs time graph?
If time is along the horizontal axis, and speed up the vertical, then a horizontal line indicates that at all times the speed remains at a fixed value. Hence the object is travelling at a constant speed of v, where v is the height of the horizontal line.
Does the horizontal line on the velocity vs time graph indicate a constant and positive acceleration?
No, a horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates a constant velocity, not acceleration. An acceleration would be represented by a non-zero slope on a velocity vs. time graph.
How can a position time graph show if an object has constant acceleration?
In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.
When is the shape of an position versus time graph parabolic?
If a position versus time graph is parabolic, then:Speed versus time is a straight line.Acceleration (magnitude) vs time is a horizontal line, so the acceleration is constant.The graph of height/time for a stone or a baseballtossed upward is an inverted parabola.
A straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
The straight horizontal line on a graph is referred to as the x-axis. The vertical line on a graph is the y-axis.
If you wanted to make a line graph to graph the motion of an object what would you put what on the horizontal axis and what would you put on the vertical axis?
You put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.
In a distance-time graph a slope of zero or a horizontal line represent?
A slope of zero or a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represents an object at rest, not moving. This indicates that the object is not changing its position over time.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
What is the name of the line that would show constant speed on a V-T graph?
A horizontal line on a velocity-time (V-T) graph would show constant speed. This is because the slope of a V-T graph represents acceleration, and a horizontal line means zero acceleration, indicating constant speed.
When plotting data on a graph showing distance verus time what would a horizontal line indicate?
time is normally the horizontal line
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
constant speed
What does a horizontal line represents?
On a graph, a horizontal line reprents no change in data.
Can a line be the graph of a function?
Yes the graph of a function can be a vertical or a horizontal line
Can a line be a graph of a function?
Yes the graph of a function can be a vertical or a horizontal line
How would the line on a motion graph look like if an object is not moving?
horizontal.
How speed of zero would appear on a graph?
-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.
