Want this question answered?
anything.... since speed and/or direction are changing (and not necessarily at a constant rate), the graph can look like pretty much anything
The slope of [distance vs. time] is [speed]. If the slope is constant, then the speed is constant,meaning the magnitude of acceleration is zero.(The direction of velocity might still be changing though, which wouldn't show up on the graph.)
Constant speed is shown on a graph using straight lines. The straight line indicates that there are no fluctuations with the speed.
On a V-t graph, constant speed is shown as a horizontal line.
If the constant acceleration is positive, the graph would be an exponential (x2) graph. If there is constant acceleration, then velocity is always increasing, making the position change at an ever increasing rate.
It means that the velocity is constant, or not changing.
the difference between a constant in a graph and a constant in a experiment is that when on a graph, the constant is the thing that changes, and in a experiment it is the part that stays the same.
Temperature and activation energy
If voltage varies then current varies with constant resistance.
If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.

The straight horizontal line would indicate constant speed.(NOT constant velocity. The velocity could very well be changing, but the graphdoesn't tell you anything about the direction of the motion, only that the speedis constant.)
Because a slope of zero indicates that the y-value (speed) isn't changing.
It rotates the graph about the point (0, b). The greater the value of m, the more steeply it rises to the right.
A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.
