What does a speed time graph show?

The acceleration of an object.


What does the area under an acceleration time graph show?

The area under an acceleration-time graph is equal to the object's velocity (not change in velocity).


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


How do you graph acceleration?

The answer depends on what the graph is meant to show. The first step would be to read the axis labels.


What does the slope of a distance uersus time graph show you about the motion of an object?

acceleration.


How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?

Acceleration=change in y graph/change in x graph


What does acceleration look like as a graph?

The answer depends on what is plotted on the graph and what is happening with the acceleration then.


What will the acceleration-time graph show if the speed is decelerating?

On a graph of acceleration vs. time, during deceleration the line is below zero. On a graph of speed vs. time, during deceleration the line has a negative slope (sloping downward from left to right).


What represents acceleration on a graph?

The answer depends on the variables in the graph! In a graph of age against mass there is nothing that represents acceleration.


Plot the graph to show ball thrown vertically upward and comes downward ignoring air resistence?

If you want the graph to show the acceleration of the ball against time, then the graph is a horizontal line. If you want the graph to show the velocity of the ball against time, then the graph is a straight line sloping downward. If you want the graph to show the height of the ball against time, then the graph is a parabola that opens downward.


What is a distance vs time graph?

A distance vs time squared graph shows shows the relationship between distance and time during an acceleration. An example of an acceleration value would be 3.4 m/s^2. The time is always squared in acceleration therefore the graph can show the rate of which an object is moving


How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?

This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
