What does the slope of a curve represent on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
The slope of a line on a distance time graph represents?
The slope of a line on a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity. The steeper the line is and the greater the slope of the line is, the faster the object is moving.
Can you calculate speed from a motion graph?
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
How do you determine velocity using a position-time graph?
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.
What shows acceleration an a speed time graph?
The slope is the acceleration. Acceleration is the time derivative of velocity.
What does slope of a speed time graph represent?
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
What does the slope of a speed-time graph represent?
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
When velocity is changing what is happening to the slope on a position versus time graph?
That slope is the 'speed' of the motion. If the slope is changing, then the speed is changing. That's 'accelerated' motion. (It doesn't matter whether the speed is growing or shrinking. It's still 'accelerated' motion. 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.)
What is the slope of a distance-time graph?
speed (magnitude of velocity)
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.
The slope of a displacement-time graph is?
The slope at each point of a displacement/time graph is the speed at that instant of time. (Not velocity.)
What in a position time graph a steep slope indicates?
I Dont know sombody help me on this an I'm on a quiz (:
The slope of a position vstime graph is equal to?
speed (magnitude of velocity)
What does the slope of a distnace-time graph give you?
It gives you the speed. (not the velocity)
What does the slope of a curve represent on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
What info does the slope of a lone indicate on a distance verses time graph?
On a distance/time graph, the slope of the line is the speed. (Magnitude of velocity.)
Is velocity the slope of the accerleration vs graph?
It's the other way around. The magnitude of acceleration is the slope of the graph of speed vs time.
