How does the distance versus time graph look for an object that is stopped?

You can use the steepness, or slope, of a line in a distance-time graph to determine the speed of an object if speed is constant. The slope of the line is calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time for that time interval.

∙ 13y agoWhen an object's speed increases the graph is a staight line going upwards but when an objects's speed decreases then the graph is a straight line going downwards.

∙ 12y agoThe graph curves upward, because as time goes on, the speed of the object ...
the magnitude of its velocity ... keeps growing.

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
On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?
no motion
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
What type of graph is used for acceleration?
Speed-Versus-Time, Distance-Versus-Time.
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
On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?
no motion
When interpreting a distance time graph you know the object is stopped when the segment is?
horizontal
What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?
A straight horizontal one does.
What would a distance-versus-time graph look like for the moving object?
Straight line
Which two types of graphs can you use to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
What does the slope of a distance versus-time graph show about the motion of an object?
the slope show the velocity of the object which show its direction and magnitude.
When the motion of an object is shown by a straight line on a distance versus time graph with distance on the y axis what will the slope of the line be?
the slope would be speed.
What does the slope of the line on a position versus time graph tell you about the objects speed?
The distance versus time graph shows the position of the object. The slope of the line shows the velocity of the object. The velocity is the direction and speed of an object. If your slope has a positive slant that means you are going in a positive direction. If the slope has a negative slant your object is going in a negative direction. If your slope is zero (a horizontal line) that means your object has stopped and is about to change directions. In case you didnt know a positive slant looks like this on a graph.... / a negative slant looks like this on a graph.... \ postive is like sloping up a hill negative is like falling down the hill
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.
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
What would a distance -versus - time graph look like for moving object?
It would be anything other than a horizontal line.
