How is speed and acceleration represented on a graph?
On a speed versus time graph, acceleration is represented by the line on the graph. If acceleration is constant, the line cuts through equally between the axis and starts from the zero point.
The graph of distance versus time for an object moving at a constant speed is a curve?
No, it is a straight line passing through the origin.
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.
A constant speed has a slope of zero on a graph because no acceleration is taking place?
That would be true, in the case of a graph of speed vs time.
4 What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is constant?
Motion at constant speed.
How is speed and acceleration represented on a graph?
On a speed versus time graph, acceleration is represented by the line on the graph. If acceleration is constant, the line cuts through equally between the axis and starts from the zero point.
Is it true that a straight diagonal line on a distance versus time graph indicates a constant speed?
Yes. The slope, or rate, is constant. The rate being represented is speed. If the slope is a negative constant, the object is losing distance (going towards) from the orgin at at a constant speed.
What would the distance vs time graph look like for an object at a constant speed?
At constant speed, the distance/time graph is a straight line, whose slope is equal to the speed.
What does constant speed appear as on a V-t graph?
On a graph of velocity and time, a constant speed would appear as a straight horizontal line.
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.
A distance-time graph of constant speed looks like this?
The graph is a straight line. Its slope is the speed.
The graph of distance versus time for an object moving at a constant speed is a curve?
No, it is a straight line passing through the origin.
What does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?
Constant speed..
Does a horizontal line on a speed time graph show constant speed?
yes
What does horizonal line on a speed timev graph indicate?
A horizontal line on a speed vs time graph indicates constant speed.
What is the distance-time graph for constant speed?
straight line
What does constant speed look like on a graph?
That kind of depends on what is being graphed. -- On a graph of acceleration vs time, the graph is a straight line that lays right on top of the x-axis, because the acceleration is a constant zero. -- On a graph of speed vs time, constant speed is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis. -- On a graph of distance vs time, constant speed is a straight line with a positive slope; that is, it rises as it progresses toward the right.
