What else can I help you with?
What is a horizontal line on a distance time graph?
It indicates that the object in question is not moving in towards or away from the origin. However, it gives no information about motion in the transverse direction.
What does a steep diagonal line mean on a distance time graph?
It means that the object is moving at a high speed in a direction towards or away from the reference point.
What is gradient in distance-time graph?
The gradient in a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity of an object. It is calculated as the change in distance divided by the change in time, indicating how quickly distance changes over time. A steeper gradient indicates a higher speed, while a flat gradient indicates that the object is stationary. If the gradient is negative, it suggests that the object is moving back towards the starting point.
What does the steepness of a line on a time-distance graph represent?
The steepness of the line on a distance-time graph represents the radial speed of the object. That is, the speed with which the object is moving towards or away from the origin. The steepness takes absolutely no account of the transverse speed, so you can be going around the origin in a circle at a great speed but, since your distance remains the same, the D-T graph will be flat: implying speed = 0.
What does a line sloping upwards mean in a distance graph?
A line sloping upwards in a distance graph indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, and the distance from that point is increasing over time. The steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving. If the line is straight, the speed is constant; if it curves, the speed may be changing.
The distance-time graph for a faster moving object has a smaller slope than the graph for a slower moving object True or false?
The distance time graph for a faster moving object has a smaller slope than the graph for a slower moving object - This is False
The distance time graph for a faster moving object has a smaller slope than the graph for a slower moving object True or false?
False. The slope of the distance-time graph represents the speed of the object. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed, so the distance-time graph for a faster moving object would have a greater slope than the graph for a slower moving object.
Is it true that the distance-time graph for a faster moving object has a smaller slope than the graph for a slower moving object?
False
The distance-time graph for a faster moving object has a smaller slope than the graph for a slower moving object. true or false?
The distance time graph for a faster moving object has a smaller slope than the graph for a slower moving object - This is False
Is it true that the distance time graph for a faster moving object has a smaller slope than the graph for a slower moving object?
No, just the opposite
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).
How do you interpret how an object is moving from a distance time graph?
If the distance is not changing, the object is not moving. If the distance is increasing or decreasing linearly then the object is moving at a constant velocity. If the distance is increasing or decreasing parabolically then the object is being accelerated or decellerated.
Can a position time graph have negative slope?
yes, if the speed is negative, that is, moving backward
What would a distance-versus-time graph look like for the moving object?
A distance-versus-time graph for a moving object would typically show distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The slope of the graph represents the speed of the object; a steeper slope indicates higher speed, while a horizontal line would indicate that the object is not moving. The area under the graph represents the total distance traveled by the object.
Does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate that an object is stationary?
Object will change distance time graph when speed is changing. Distance time graph don't changed indicate of the stationary.
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal what does that say about the motion of the object?
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal, it indicates that the object is not changing its position over time. In other words, the object is at rest and not moving.
What is a horizontal line on a distance time graph?
It indicates that the object in question is not moving in towards or away from the origin. However, it gives no information about motion in the transverse direction.
