The slope of the line of a distance versus time graph is the velocity of the object. If this is a constant, in other words the graph is a straight line, the object is not changing its velocity and so is not accelerating.
If the object is accelerating, the velocity of the object will be changing, thus the graph will not be a straight line, but a curve - the amount of curvature (and direction) tells you how much the object is accelerating (and in what direction - velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction).
What else can I help you with?
What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph tell you?
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?
A straight horizontal one does.
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.
Does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate that an object is stationary?
Object will change distance time graph when speed is changing. Distance time graph don't changed indicate of the stationary.
Is it false that a distance-versus-time graph will never show a horizontal line?
It is false
Which two types of graphs can you use to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
Accelerating can be seen on a distance versus time graph true or false?
Indirectly, yes. If the graph is a straight line there is no acceleration, if the graph is not linear there is acceleration.
If an object is accelerating what would the distance time graph look like?
curve
What does a curved line represent on a time vs distance graph?
The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal what does that say about the motion of the object?
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal, it indicates that the object is not changing its position over time. In other words, the object is at rest and not moving.
You can use a distance versus time graph to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
The slope at any point is the velocity, so you can construct a graph of that. The slope at any point on that graph is the acceleration. So you can construct a graph of that. The slope at any point on that is the rate of change of acceleration. And so on.
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.
Why is the line curved on a distance vs time graph?
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
What would a distance-versus-time graph look like for the moving object?
A distance-versus-time graph for a moving object would typically show distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The slope of the graph represents the speed of the object; a steeper slope indicates higher speed, while a horizontal line would indicate that the object is not moving. The area under the graph represents the total distance traveled by the object.
What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph tell you?
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represent its motion?
If its slanted up its accelerating, if down its decelerating.
What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?
A straight horizontal one does.
