It means there is no movement towards or away from the point from which distances are measured - usually the origin. The object can be moving in a transverse direction at any speed and the graph would not show it.

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.


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.


What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?

A straight horizontal one does.


What does it mean when a distance-time graph is straight line?

It means that the object in question is moving at a constant speed.If the graph is a straight horizontal line, then the speed is zero.


Can a distance versus time graph ever show a horizontal line?

if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal


A distance time graph for acceleration is always a?

a horizontal line :)


What does it mean when a line graph is a horizontal line?

It means that the function is constant.


In a distance vs time graph if the line is perfectly horizontal what does that mean about the velocity of the object?

horizontal


On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?

A horizontal line on a distance versus time graph indicates that the object is not moving. The slope of the line would be zero, meaning there is no change in distance over time.


What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity


When plotting data on a graph showing distance verus time what would a horizontal line indicate?

time is normally the horizontal line


What does horizontal line represent on graph of distance vs time?

constant speed
