15. Choose the correct statement
(a)If the distance time graph of an object is a straight line then it is moving with a constant
speed
(b). If the distance time graph of an object is not a straight line or curved line than the speed
of an object is not constant.
(c). The distance time graph of an object is a horizontal line parallel to the time axis, then the
speed of object is zero and the object is not moving.
