How does the distance versus time graph look for an object that is stopped?
You can use the steepness, or slope, of a line in a distance-time graph to determine the speed of an object if speed is constant. The slope of the line is calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time for that time interval.
What is a speed graph?
a speed graph shows us how the speed of a moving object changes with time
2 When you graph the motion of an object you put?
Time and Speed Time and Speed
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.
How can you tell if a graph shows an object changing speed?
The answer depends on what variables are plotted on the graph. Without that information it is not possible to answer the question.
Does the speed of a position time graph of an object gives the speed of the object?
No, but the slope of the graph does.
What is the type of graph used to show the speed of an object?
speed graph
What is the significance of distanced-time graph?
A distance time graph is important because it helps determine the speed of a person or object. The use of the graph helps to easily interpret the results.
How do you determine velocity using a position-time graph?
You can't determine velocity from that graph, because the graph tells you nothing about the direction of the motion. But you can determine the speed. The speed at any moment is the slope of a line that's tangent to the graph at that moment.
What is the tool used to determine distance?
you would need speed to determine the distance of an object thanks for looking at my answer from lekara fletcher bye
What does speed-time graph represent?
It represents the speed of a moving object at any time covered by the graph.
How does the distance versus time graph look for an object that is stopped?

What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate about an object's motion?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.
What does a speed time graph show?
The acceleration of an object.
What does straight line on a distance time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.
What is a speed graph?
a speed graph shows us how the speed of a moving object changes with time
Why does the y-value of the velocity vs. time graph stay constant?
You're looking at one specific velocity/time graph that we can't see. From your description, we can tell that the object whose motion is described by that graph is moving at a constant rate of speed ... which is exactly what you just said while looking at the graph.
