Constant speed

The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.

Does a horizontal line on a distance time graph show constant speed?

No. It shows zero speed. Velocity is distance/unit time. The slope of the line shows change in distance / change in time. Since distance never changes as time changes, the change in distance is zero. Alternatively, the slope of a horizontal line is zero. If zero speed is considered "constant", then yes, it does show constant speed but the speed is zero.

If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

Constant speed ... zero acceleration.


A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?

If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.


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.


A projectile is thrown with an initial velocity which has a horizontal component of 4 m s What will be its horizontal speed after 3s?

The horizontal speed of the projectile remains constant as there is no force acting in the horizontal direction to change it. Therefore, the horizontal speed of the projectile after 3 seconds will remain at 4 m/s.


What is the steepness of a line graph equal to its vertical change divided by its horizontal change is referred to as the?

Speed


What are the horizontal components of accelaration of a body when thrown horizontally with unifornm speed?

When a body is thrown horizontally with uniform speed, there is no change in the horizontal velocity, so the horizontal component of acceleration is zero. The only acceleration acting on the body is due to gravity in the vertical direction.


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indacate?

that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D
