What formula is used to calculate motion?
You can use a graph to calculate speed.
How do you read and calculate speed from a motion graph?
You can calculate speed by taking the gradient (dy/dx) from a Distance-time graph since s=d/t
Can you calculate the initial speed from speed-time graph?
Yes.
How do you use a graph to show someone's motion?
By using the distance, speed, and acceleration, to show on the graph the constant speed of each car
For motion along a straight line a horizontal line on a speed over time graph indicates graph indicates that what is zero?
For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.

What is a speed and time graph called?
it is called a motion graph
How do you calculate speed of a distance time graph?
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.
Can you calculate the initial speed from speed-time graph?
Yes.
2 When you graph the motion of an object you put?
Time and Speed Time and Speed

How do you calculate forse on a speed time graph?
If you only have the speed/time graph, you can't calculate force out of it. You could if you also knew the mass of the object that's speeding along, but not with the speed alone.
Why area below the distance-time graph is used to calculate speed?
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is changing?
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
For motion along a straight line a horizontal line on a speed over time graph indicates graph indicates that what is zero?
For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.
What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate about the objects motion?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.
