Question

What does a constant velocity look like on a displacement vs time graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

A line with slope equal to the velocity.

Explanation:

If one is in the presence of constant velocity, that means that at the quotient between displacement and time elapsed is a constant value, therefore one can write the following equation:

$\frac{displacement}{time} =constant$

therefore, solving for displacement we get:

$displacement= constant \,*\, time$

which if plotted with displacement (D) on the vertical axis  and time (t) on the horizontal axis, renders a line with slope equal to the constant value of the velocity (v):

$D=v\,*\,t$
