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.
It means that the object in question is moving at a constant speed.If the graph is a straight horizontal line, then the speed is zero.
the slope would be speed.
The graph is a straight line. Its slope is the speed.
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.
At constant speed, the distance/time graph is a straight line, whose slope is equal to the speed.
It means that the object in question is moving at a constant speed.If the graph is a straight horizontal line, then the speed is zero.
-- The distance/time graph for an object in uniform motion is a straight line,which may be sloped.-- The distance/time graph for an object in non-uniform motion may be a linethat isn't straight. But even if the graph is a straight line, that's not enoughto guarantee that the object's motion is uniform ... the distance/time graphreveals the object's speed, but not the direction of its motion.
If the line formed by the graph is straight, the speed is constant. A horizontal line would show the object as stationary.
the slope would be speed.
The graph is a straight line. Its slope is the speed.
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
a straight line with a positive slope
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
A straight line on a distance/time graph means that the speed is constant. In every unit of time the distance increases by the same amount.
Distance-time graph will show a straight line with a positive slope. Speed-time graph will show a horizontal line at the uniform speed. Acceleration-time graph will show a horizontal line at a = 0.
Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.
