How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
How do you read a distance vs time graph and a speed vs time graph?
:Troll:
What graph can speed be determined from?
distance and time
How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
What happens to a graph of time and distance as speed increases?
The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
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.
Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
Determine the unit of a caterpillars speed if you measure the distance in centimeters and the time it takes to travel that distance in minutes how would you graph the data?
cm/min -- centimeters per minute, speed is always determined by distance over time. :)
How can you get speed and distance covered by a body from distance time graph?
Distance you read off directly from the graph. Speed is the rate of increase of distance, so it is the slope (gradient) of the graph.
How do you calculate speed of a distance time graph?
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.
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.
