Can you calculate speed from a motion graph?
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
What is the speed of a slope?
A slope does not have any speed.
Does changing the height of a ramp affect the speed of the car going down the ramp?
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
Is it true that a straight diagonal line on a distance versus time graph indicates a constant speed?
Yes. The slope, or rate, is constant. The rate being represented is speed. If the slope is a negative constant, the object is losing distance (going towards) from the orgin at at a constant speed.
What does the slope of a linen on a distance - time graph represent?
The speed. Also, if a positive slope represents the speed in one direction, the negative slope is the speed in the opposite direction.
How do you calculate speed of a distance time graph?
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.

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.
A car distance time graph is a straight line with a steep slope. How would you describe the car's speed?
If the slope is 'uphill' then the car is going faster
What is the average speed on the ski slope?
This question depends a lot on the region (steepness of the mountains,) the difficulty of the run, and if there are bumps or if it is a speedy run; but in general, an intermediate skier goes around 15-20mph on a straight unimpeded run.
Which is travelling faster a cyclist who travels 400m in 20s or a skier who travels 1500m in 1 min?
Cycler's speed = 400/20 = 20 meters per second. Skier's speed = 1500/60 = 25 meters per second. The skier's average speed during his minute is 25% faster than the cyclist's average speed during his 20 seconds.
How are you going to calculate for the speed of a given object?
Distance over time.
What does the slope of a linen on a distance - time graph represent?
The speed. Also, if a positive slope represents the speed in one direction, the negative slope is the speed in the opposite direction.
Is it true that a straight diagonal line on a distance versus time graph indicates a constant speed?
Yes. The slope, or rate, is constant. The rate being represented is speed. If the slope is a negative constant, the object is losing distance (going towards) from the orgin at at a constant speed.
What is mesured in distance and time?
That would be Speed. Speed is the distance you are going divided by the time it takes. This will calculate the average speed you were traveling.
