Imagine a time-position graph where the velocity of an object is constant. What will be observed on the graph concerning the slope of the line segment as well as the velocity of the object?(1 point)

Responses

The slope of the line is negative, and the object will be stationary.
The slope of the line is negative, and the object will be stationary.

The slope of the line is equal to zero and the object will be stationary.
The slope of the line is equal to zero and the object will be stationary.

The slope of the line is equal to zero and the object will be in motion.
The slope of the line is equal to zero and the object will be in motion.

The slope of the line is positive, and the object will be stationary.

1 answer

In a time-position graph where the velocity of an object is constant, the slope of the line segment will be constant as well, indicating the velocity is constant.

If the velocity is positive, the slope of the line will be positive. If the velocity is negative, the slope will be negative. If the object is stationary, the slope of the line will be zero.

Given the options provided, the correct response would depend on the context of the object's motion:

  • If the object is in motion at a constant positive velocity, the slope would be positive (this option isn't present in your list).
  • If the object is stationary, the slope would be zero, and the object would not be in motion (this is the option that aligns closest to reality).

So the most appropriate response from the options presented would be:

  • "The slope of the line is equal to zero and the object will be stationary."
