You can't. However, you can find the change in speed between two points in time by finding the area under the acceleration-time graph.

How do you recognize acceleration graphs?

The answer depends on what the graph is meant to show. The first step would be to read the axis labels.


How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?

Acceleration=change in y graph/change in x graph


What does acceleration look like as a graph?

The answer depends on what is plotted on the graph and what is happening with the acceleration then.


What represents acceleration on a graph?

The answer depends on the variables in the graph! In a graph of age against mass there is nothing that represents acceleration.


How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?

This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).


How is a graph showing speed different from a graph showing acceleration?

Acceleration is how fast you get up to speed.


How do you make a velocity vs time graph from an acceleration vs time graph?

Your acceleration vs. Time graph is the slope of your velocity vs. time graph


In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?

A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.


How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?

A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.


How does a graph showing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?

Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.


On speed-time graph the measures acceleration?

On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.


Accelerating can be seen on a distance versus time graph true or false?

Indirectly, yes. If the graph is a straight line there is no acceleration, if the graph is not linear there is acceleration.
