The velocity is zero.
The velocity is zero.

The acceleration is negative.
The acceleration is negative.

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

The velocity 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, it indicates that the object's position does not change with time. Therefore, the correct statement about the object's motion is:

The velocity is zero.

This is because a horizontal line on a position vs. time graph indicates that the object is not moving, leading to a velocity of zero.
