You can't determine velocity from that graph, because the graph tells you

nothing about the direction of the motion. But you can determine the speed.

The speed at any moment is the slope of a line that's tangent to the graph

at that moment.

How do you determine acceleration from a position vs. time graph?

if the acceleration is constant, then it is a parabola (a=V*t+(at^2)/2). if it isn't, and you are give it's formula in relation to time, then it is possible to find the distance formula by using higher level mathematics(integrals).


How do you determine mass using momentum and velocity?

Momentum = (mass) times (velocity)mass = (Momentum) divided by (velocity)


How do you find acceleration using mass and velocity?

Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time(derivative of velocity with respect to time). If you have a graph or chart of velocity values vs time, then you can calculate (change in velocity) / (change in time). This is the slope of the graph at a specific point in time.Mass, along with acceleration determines force.


Sketch a distance-time graph for a body starting from rest how will you determine the speed of a body from this graph?

It is not possible to sketch anything using this browser. The speed of a body cannot be determined from a distance-time graph. The slope of the graph is a measure of the radial velocity - that is the speed directly towards or directly away from the starting point. However, there is absolutely no information of any motion in a transverse direction. Since motion in this direction cannot be assumed to be 0, the distance-time graph cannot be used to determine speed.


Is displacement a slope of a velocity vs. time graph?

Displacement can be found by the area underneath the line of a velocity vs. time graph. This area can be found by using a definite integral if you know calculus, or if not it can be found simply by counting squares, or finding the area of triangles etc. Hope it helped :)


How do you determine a cars final speed after acelerating for three seconds?

Using the equation of motion v = u + at. v-the final velocity, u - initial velocity a- acceleration and t-the time.


What is a graph that displays data using line segments?

The graph that displays data using line segments is a line graph.


What is the physical meaning of the slope of the graph displacement vs time?

False


How do you Graph 6.5t?

There are many ways to graph 6.5t like using a bar graph, a pictograph or a line graph. When using a pictograph you will find the time and times it by how much.


How do you determine the speed of a moving object?

The average speed of an moving object is determined by using the formula velocity=distance/time or v=d/t.


How are a bar graph and a line graph different?

a bar graph is a graph that displays data using bars and a line graph is a graph that displays data in a line


The x and y component of a billiard balls velocity are 5 m s and 4 m s respectively What is the actual velocity of the billiard ball?

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can determine the actual velocity in the xy plane to be (the square root of 41) m/s along the vector [5,4].
