Question
What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate about the motion of an object?
Answer
A horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is stationary and not changing its position over time.
Explanation
This question tests recall and understanding of distance-time graphs. Recognizing that a horizontal line represents no movement is fundamental to interpreting such graphs correctly.
Common mistake
Misinterpreting Distance-Time Graphs
Students often confuse a horizontal line on a distance-time graph as indicating motion rather than being stationary.
Remember that a horizontal line indicates no change in distance over time, meaning the object is stationary.
