It means a constant acceleration:

* If the line slopes up, the object is getting faster at a constant rate;

* if it slopes down, the object is getting slower at a constant rate;

* If the line is horizontal, the object is neither speeding up nor slowing down, but travelling with a constant speed.

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.


What does a straight line mean in a distance time graph?

Constant speed. Zero acceleration.


What does a straight line on a knitting chart mean?

Look for the key to the symbols on your graph, which will explain the straight line.


What does it mean if a line is flat on a distance-time graph?

Time is plotted on the X-axis. Speed or velocity is plotted on the Y-axis. A straight horizontal line on a speed-time graph means that speed is constant. It is not changing over time. A straight line does not mean that the object is not moving!


What does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?

Constant speed..


Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?

BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.


What does a horizantal line mean on a speed time graph?

I would like to state first that you misspelled horizontal. The answer to your question is Constant speed.


What does a line sloping upwards mean in a distance graph?

A line sloping upwards in a distance graph indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, and the distance from that point is increasing over time. The steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving. If the line is straight, the speed is constant; if it curves, the speed may be changing.


What does linear plot mean?

A straight line graph (on the cartesian or coordinate plane).


What does a vertical straight up and down line on a graph mean?

y axis


What does the downward sloping line in a speed graph mean?

If you are analyzing speed with respect to time, then you are decelerating.


What does a horizantal line on a speed vs time graph mean?

It means that the object in question is travelling at constant speed.
