What else can I help you with?
Which two types of graphs can you use to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
Is it false that a distance-versus-time graph will never show a horizontal line?
It is false
Is it false that a distance versus time graph will never show a vertical line?
Yes it is.
How can you tell if an object is accelerating in a distance versus time graph?
The slope of the line of a distance versus time graph is the velocity of the object. If this is a constant, in other words the graph is a straight line, the object is not changing its velocity and so is not accelerating. If the object is accelerating, the velocity of the object will be changing, thus the graph will not be a straight line, but a curve - the amount of curvature (and direction) tells you how much the object is accelerating (and in what direction - velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction).
You can use a distance versus time graph to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
The slope at any point is the velocity, so you can construct a graph of that. The slope at any point on that graph is the acceleration. So you can construct a graph of that. The slope at any point on that is the rate of change of acceleration. And so on.
A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating true or false?
False. A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down, but it is still accelerating in the opposite direction.
What does a curved line represent on a time vs distance graph?
The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.
What does the slope represent on a distance versus time graph?
speed
What does the curve on a distance versus time graph represent?
speed
True or false a negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating?
False. A negative slope on a velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is decelerating, not that it is not accelerating. Acceleration and deceleration are both forms of acceleration, but in opposite directions.
If an object is accelerating what would the distance time graph look like?
curve
If a graph of distance versus time is a straight line the graph shows what relationship?
it is a positive relationship
