It depends what you're measuring- If it's the speed you're measuring, the time goes on the horizontal axis (X-axis). If, however, you're measuring how long it takes for the object to get to a set speed- and it's the time you're measuring, time goes horizontally.
If time is along the horizontal axis, and speed up the vertical, then a horizontal line indicates that at all times the speed remains at a fixed value. Hence the object is travelling at a constant speed of v, where v is the height of the horizontal line.
This means that it has a constant acceleration. It DOES NOT mean that the object is at rest.
it is not moving. the position stays the same as time goes on
It means no movement.
The obect was stationary during the time period indicated by the end points of the horizontal section.
If a position versus time graph is parabolic, then:Speed versus time is a straight line.Acceleration (magnitude) vs time is a horizontal line, so the acceleration is constant.The graph of height/time for a stone or a baseballtossed upward is an inverted parabola.
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.
The numbers on the bottom of a graph usually represent which vertical line you're on. (there are some exceptions)
Not necessarily. If the horizontal line is laying on top of the x-axis, then the speed is zero at any time, and the object isn't moving. But if the horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis, then the object is moving with constant speed.
constant speed
That the object is moving at a constant speed
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
The straight horizontal line on a graph is referred to as the x-axis. The vertical line on a graph is the y-axis.
The obect was stationary during the time period indicated by the end points of the horizontal section.
On a graph, a horizontal line reprents no change in data.
Yes the graph of a function can be a vertical or a horizontal line
Yes the graph of a function can be a vertical or a horizontal line
It will be a horizontal line
a verticla line
abscissa is horizontal and ordinate is vertical one
Yes the graph of a function can be a vertical or a horizontal line
