A distance-time graph for a body starting from rest how will you determine the speed of a body from this graph?

To determine the speed of a body from a distance-time graph when the body starts from rest, you can find the slope of the graph. The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of the body. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a shallower slope indicates a lower speed.


In a distance-time graph a slope of zero or a horizontal line represent?

A slope of zero or a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represents an object at rest, not moving. This indicates that the object is not changing its position over time.


Sketch a distance time graph as when a body is at rest and when a body is moving with constant speed?

Sketch a distance-time graph for a body starting from rest how will you determine the speed of a body from this graph?

It is not possible to sketch anything using this browser. The speed of a body cannot be determined from a distance-time graph. The slope of the graph is a measure of the radial velocity - that is the speed directly towards or directly away from the starting point. However, there is absolutely no information of any motion in a transverse direction. Since motion in this direction cannot be assumed to be 0, the distance-time graph cannot be used to determine speed.


What does zero slope (horizontal graph) mean in a distance versus time graph?

If the distance is on the y axis and time is on the x axis, a zero slope means that distance isn't changing over time.


What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity


What can you say about motion of a body who's distance time graph is straight line parallel to X axis?

distance = speed x time the speed is the slope of the line which if parallel to X axis is zero - that means speed = 0 and distance is not changing with time, so the object is at rest ( not moving) relative to the observer


What is the nature of the distance time graphs for a body at rest?

As the body is at rest, its distance from some point is not changing, so the graph will be a straight line parallel to the time axis (including the possibility of being on the time axis).


Acceleration can be determined from a velocity vs time graph by calculating the line's?

if a body starts from rest and attain the velocity and this body have any time .so the acceleration is defined as *the rate of change of velocity*and the formula is a=vf-vi/t,and the unit is m/s*2.


What in a position time graph a steep slope indicates?

I Dont know sombody help me on this an I'm on a quiz (:


Does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is moving at a constant speed?

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.


If an object is at rest how do you graph it?

If an object is at rest, its position versus time graph would be a straight horizontal line at the position value where the object is located. The slope of this line would be zero, indicating no change in position over time.
