How would you obtain the acceleration of an object from a velocity time graph?

The average acceleration can be obtained by finding the slope of the graph.
The instantaneous acceleration is found by drawing a tangent to a particular point on the graph (instant) and finding the slope of than tangent.

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).
What is the difference between object moves wint uniform acceleration and object moves with no acceleration?
An object moving with uniform acceleration has a uniform change in velocity over time, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight line with either a positive or negative slope. An object moving with no acceleration has constant velocity, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight, horizontal line with zero slope. Refer to the related link for illustrations.
What does the slope of a velocity vs time graph show you?
The rate of acceleration is a measure of the change of the velocity of an object with time. On a graph of velocity versus time, it is represented by the slope of the line so graphed. If velocity is changing in time, the object described is being accelerated. The greater the slope of the graph, the greater the change of velocity per unit of time and the greater the acceleration of that object. true
What information can be learned from a position-time graph and from a speed-time graph?
A position time graph can show you velocity. As time changes, so does position, and the velocity of the object can be determined. For a speed time graph, you can derive acceleration. As time changes, so does velocity, and the acceleration of the object can be determined.If you are plotting velocity (speed) versus time, the slope is the acceleration.
What kinematic concept distance velocity acceleration etc of the moving object does the slope of the graph represent?
acceleration
On a velocity vs time graph shows what about an objects motion?
It shows the object's acceleration or deceleration.
How do you make a velocity vs time graph from an acceleration vs time graph?
Your acceleration vs. Time graph is the slope of your velocity vs. time graph
What is the importance of uniform acceleration graph in physics what is instantaneous velocity?
The slope of a velocity-time graph that shows uniform acceleration is the actual acceleration. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of a body at a particular moment in time.
Velocity is the slope of the displacement vs time graph?
Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.
What are the advantages of velocity time graph?
Normally a position-time graph is actually a distance-time graph where the distance of an object is measured from a fixed point called the origin. The slope (gradient) of the graph is the radial velocity - or the component of the velocity in the radial direction - of the object. That is, the component of the object's velocity in the direction towards or away from the origin. Such a graph cannot be used to measure the component of the velocity at right angles to the radial direction. In particular, an object going around in a circle would appear t have no velocity since its distance from the origin remains constant.
How is acceleration obtained from a velocity line graph?
the gradient of the graph
If a line is decreasing on a velocity v time graph what does it mean?
That an object is losing speed. It is experiencing negative acceleration.
