If the graph of an object's position over time is a horizontal line and \( y \) is not equal to 0, this indicates that the object's position is constant over time.

In this case, we can draw the following conclusions:

- The velocity of the object is zero, because it is not changing position.
- The acceleration can be considered constant and is actually zero, since the object is not speeding up or slowing down.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**The velocity is zero.**
