Can a line graph be used to record speed?
yes
When you graph speed time is on what axis?
It depends what you wish to show.
What does a speed vs time graph look like?
It is a line chart which usually starts at the origin, goes up in the first quadrant. It may return to the horizontal axis.
Is driving speed a discrete or continuous variable?
Speed is a continuous variable since it can take on an infinite set of values.
In Chicago il the average wind speed is 10.4 miles per hour in great falls mt the average wind speed is 13.1 miles per hour about how much greater is the average wind speed in great falls than you?
13.1/10.4 = 1.26 that is Great Fallls is 26% greater wind speed than Chicago
How is a graph showing speed different from a graph showing acceleration?
Acceleration is how fast you get up to speed.
How does a graph slowing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?
Yes. One shows speed and the other shows acceleration. The variables are usually plotted against time but that need not be the case. They could be plotted against displacement, for example.
In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?
A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.
How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
On speed-time graph the measures acceleration?
On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.
What is indicated on a speed graph?
Acceleration is indicated on a speed/time graph.
How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?
Acceleration=change in y graph/change in x graph
What happens to acceleration when speed decreases on a speed time graph?
Acceleration is negative.
How is speed and acceleration represented on a graph?
On a speed versus time graph, acceleration is represented by the line on the graph. If acceleration is constant, the line cuts through equally between the axis and starts from the zero point.
Is The slope on a position-time graph is representative of the acceleration of the object?
No. Slope of position/time graph is speed, or magnitude of velocity.Slope of speed/time graph is magnitude of acceleration.
On a V-t graph how does constant acceleration appear?
On a graph of speed versus time, where time is plotted along the horizontal (X) axis and speed along the vertical (Y) axis: -- constant speed (zero acceleration) produces a straight, horizontal line; -- constant acceleration produces a straight, sloped line; the slope of the line is equal to the acceleration; -- if the acceleration is positive, the line slopes up to the right (speed increases as time increases); -- if the acceleration is negative, the line slopes down to the right (speed decreases as time increases).
Does the slope of the line on a speed time graph tells the speed?
No. The slope on a speed vs time graph tells the acceleration.
