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
What type of acceleration does a trapezium on a velocity time graph represents?
A period of constant positive acceleration;a second period of zero acceleration; a third period of constant negative acceleration.
What does the slope of a distance uersus time graph show you about the motion of an object?
acceleration.
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.
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).
Can acceleration ever be negative?
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
What happens to acceleration when speed decreases on a speed time graph?
Acceleration is negative.
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).
When the slope of v t graph is negative and constant what is the nature of acceleration?
acceleration is the slope of the v t graph... so the acceleration is constant and negative. In other words, the object is slowing down at a constant rate.
A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates a negative acceleration?
True
What does a speed time graph show?
The acceleration of an object.
What part of the graph represents uniform positive and negative acceleration Calculate this acceleration.?
The answer depends on whether the graph is that of speed v time or distance v time.
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 type of acceleration does a trapezium on a velocity time graph represents?
A period of constant positive acceleration;a second period of zero acceleration; a third period of constant negative acceleration.
