What does a flat horizontal line mean on a position vs time graph?
A
moving fast
B
object in motionless
C
gettin faster
D
coming back to start
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The slope of a horizontal line is zero, meaning that the object was motionless at those times.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summary: A distance-time graph tells us how far an object has moved with time. The steeper the graph, the faster the motion. A horizontal line means the object is not changing its position-it is not moving, it is at rest.

Detailed explanation-3: -On a velocity-time graph a horizontal (flat) line indicates the object is travelling at a constant speed. A straight diagonal line indicates the object’s velocity is changing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: On a distance time graph, a straight line indicates that an object is moving at a constant speed.

Detailed explanation-5: -A horizontal line on a distance vs. time graph indicates that he object is at rest (not moving). You can show the motion of an object on a line graph in which you plot distance versus time.
