What else can I help you with?
Can a distance vs time graph have a vertical line?
No, because that would imply that the object travelled at infinite speed.
How would you use a distance time graph to calculate the average speed of an object motion?
A distance-time graph is created by placing the distance on the vertical axis with the time placed on the horizontal axis. The values can then be plotted using distance traveled on different intervals.
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
Is it possible for an object to move so that it produces a vertical line segment on a distance-time graph?
No. That would require it to move at infinite speed. It would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it. The universe does not have that much energy.
What does the gradient of a line on a distance-time graph tell us about an object?
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
What represents a stationary object on a distance time graph?
A stationary object on a distance-time graph will be represented by a horizontal line. This indicates that the object is not changing its position over time and remains at a constant distance from a reference point.
When you graph the motion of an object you put what on the horizontal and the what on the vertical axis?
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
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.
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 is the speed of stationary object?
WHAT THE SPEED OF STATIONARY OBJECT?
What kind of energy does a system have with two or more objects separated by a vertical distance?
The object at a higher vertical level has more potential energy than the lower object.
When an object is moving in relation to a stationary object is the stationary object called the reference point?
true
When an object is seen moving in relation to a stationary object the stationary object is calle the?
The stationary object is known as a frame of reference. The earth is a common frame of reference for humans.
What is speed of a stationary object?
In the frame of reference in which the object is stationary, its speed is zero. (Actually, that's kind of a definition of "stationary".)
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
When an object is seen moving in relation to a stationary object is the stationary object is called the frame of reference or reference point?
It can be.
Is it true or false an object is in motion only if its distance from the reference point is stationary?
False. An object is in motion if its position changes with respect to a reference point, regardless of whether its distance from the reference point is stationary. Motion includes changes in position, direction, and speed.
