Position vs. Time Graph Analysis
What does a straight, horizontal line on a position vs. time graph represent?
A. Steady (constant velocity) motion
B. Changing velocity over time
C. Acceleration
Answer:
A. Steady (constant velocity) motion
When you observe a straight, horizontal line on a position vs. time graph, it represents steady (constant velocity) motion. This means that the object is moving at a constant speed in a specific direction, and its position does not change over time.
