Question

If the distance-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis, then the body is said to be __.

• A. at rest
• B. in uniform motion
• C. in non-uniform motion
• D. in circular motion

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

at rest

If the distance-time graph is a straight line parallel to x-axis (time), then it means that the object is not changing its position with time.
If the object does not change its position with time, then it covers no distance and hence the object is said to be at rest.
