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.
