On a velocity-time graph, what does a horizontal line (constant velocity) indicate about the object's motion?

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is decelerating.

• The object is not moving.

• The object is moving at a constant velocity.

Motion Graphs show how displacement of an object over time. The type of graph you are reading depends on what is on the ​ (a)   The x-axis will always have the data for ​ (b)   . In science we learn to use ​ (c)   , ​ (d)   , and ​ (e)   graphs.

• y-axis.

• time

• speed

• position

• distance
