No, it is a straight line passing through the origin.

The slope of the line is the speed.

If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal what does that say about the motion of the object?
the object is not moving
What would a distance-versus-time graph look like for the moving object?
Straight line
What would a distance versus time graph look like for the moving object in part b?
The line would be going diagnley to the right
On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?
no motion
Is this sentence true or false The steepness of a distance versus time graph's slope depend on how quickly or slowly the object is moving?
If the x axis is time ( and the y axis distance), then the faster objects slope will be steeper.
What kind of line on a distance-versus-time graph indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed?
a straight line with a positive slope
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal what does that say about the motion of the object?
the object is not moving
What does a straight line slanting up from left to right on a distance versus time graph show?
It represents that the object is remaining at a fixed distance. Typically that means it is not moving.
Does a straight line on a distance versus time grph indicate that an object is at rest?
No. It means that the object is going at a constant speed.
What would a distance-versus-time graph look like for the moving object?
Straight line
What a distance versus time graph show?
It is a graph which shows the distance of an objectfrom a fixed point (the origin),only in the radial directionat different times.The importance of the second bullet is that the distance from the origin, of an object going around it in a circle, is constant. As a result the distance-time graphs of one object in rapid rotation about the origin and another object that is not moving at all will be the same!
How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represents its motion?
A straight slanted slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant acceleration.
On a graph of distance versus time what is constant speed shown by?
If the line formed by the graph is straight, the speed is constant. A horizontal line would show the object as stationary.
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 a distance -versus - time graph look like for moving object?
It would be anything other than a horizontal line.
What would a distance versus-time graph look like for the moving object in the part?
The line would be going diagnley to the right
What would a distance versus time graph look like for the moving object in part b?
The line would be going diagnley to the right
