The graph of an objects position overtime is a horizontal line And why is equal is not equal to zero. What must be true about the objects motion? Acceleration is negative. The velocity is constant and zero. Velocity zero. Acceleration is constant and non-zero

1 answer

If the graph of an object's position over time is a horizontal line, this means that the object's position does not change with time.

  1. Velocity: The slope of the position-time graph indicates the velocity of the object. Since the line is horizontal, the slope is zero, which means that the velocity is constant and equal to zero.

  2. Acceleration: Since the velocity is constant and does not change, the acceleration must be zero (not constant and non-zero).

Given these points, the correct statement regarding the object's motion is:

  • Velocity is zero.

In summary, the object's position remains unchanged over time, indicating it is at rest with zero velocity and zero acceleration.
