It represents that the object is remaining at a fixed distance. Typically that means it is not moving.
Motion in a horizontal line by distance can be shown on a graph. This is what tells the Y-axis.
With distance as the X coordinate, the graph is meaningless, since it implies that the object is at many locations in the same instant of time. With time as the X coordinate, it means that the object is not moving from the point of view of an observer in the object's reference frame, or at least it was not moving over the time span represented by the horizontal line.
A line that curves up or curves down on a distance/time graph is always a sign
of accelerated motion. But you can't necessarily always spot the presence of
acceleration on that graph.
Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion. On a circular track, for
example, speed may be constant, but the constantly-changing direction indicates
constant acceleration. However, since the speed is constant, the distance/time
graph is a sloped, straight line ... the same as it would be for un-accelerated motion
at a constant speed in a straight line.
on a distance time graph, the slope of the line represents the speed of the object. A horizontal line indicates no movement. The object is at rest.
It usually means that the object is staying the same height, speed, etc.
constant velocity i suppose....:)
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.
Time is on the x-axis as it is the independent variable. The distance is the dependent variable as the distance travelled depends on how long the journey has been going. :)
Yes, there are velocity graphs, (velocity being on the y axis and time being on the x axis). However, these graphs are not to be mixed up with position verses time graphs. On a velocity verses time graph, (the units for velocity being m/s), an object at rest is plotted as a straight line along the horizontal axis. This shows that time is progressing, but there is no motion of the objest. Uniform motion is also plotted as a straight line, but must be placed someplace above the horizontal axis. Acceleration and decceleration on a velocity vs time graph are represented by diagonal lines unlike the curved lines on a position verses time graph
It shows the speed of an object in a direction towards or away from the reference point. This is not the speed of the object because any motion in a transverse direction is ignored. For example, even if a racing car is going at top speed around the reference point on a circular track, the distance v time graph will be a horizontal line. The slope will be zero.
Horizontally.
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
no motion
the object is not moving
time, distance
You put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.
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.
