The velocity is constant and non-zero.
The velocity is constant and non-zero.

The acceleration is negative.
The acceleration is negative.

The velocity is zero.
The velocity is zero.

The acceleration is constant and non-zero.
The acceleration is constant and non-zero.

Answer 1

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. Thus:

• The object's velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time. Since the position does not change (the line is horizontal), the velocity must be zero.

So the correct response is:

The velocity is zero.
