The velocity of the object is zero (the object is at rest)
Explanation:
A position vs time graph represents the motion of an object; in particular:
- The position of the object x(t) is represented on the y-axis
- The time t is represented on the x-axis
For a position-time graph, the slope of the graph is given by
where
is the change in position
is the change in time
However, we see that this is equivalent to the definition of velocity:
Therefore, the slope of a position-time graph is equivalent to the velocity of the object.
And so, a horizontal segment on a position vs time graph means that the object has zero velocity (because the slope is zero).
