What does the distance versus time graph show you?
It usually shows the distance of an object from a fixed point over a time period. The distance is usually measured in one specific direction so that radial motion is ignored.
What does a horizontal slope of a distance versus time graph indicate about an objects motion?
It is a measure of speed of the object, but only in the radial direction: that is, towards or away from the point from which distance is measured. The object could be going around that point in circular motion and the graph would show absolutely nothing.
What is meant by the amplitude of a body performing simple harmonic motion?
The absolute value of the distance "crest to trough" perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the motion.
What is the velocity if the distance is 700000 miles at a speed of 250000?
If the direction of motion is constant then the velocity is the same as the speed in that direction. If the direction is not constant, the information given is nowhere near sufficient to calculate the velocity.
What does the slope of a distance versus-time graph show about the motion of an object?
the slope show the velocity of the object which show its direction and magnitude.
How can you explain an object's motion using time and distance?
An objects speed or motion is measured by distance divided by time.
Which physical quantity is measured by the area under velocity time graph?
The distance covered in the direction of motion or the opposite direction. Distance covered in the transverse direction is not included.
What is speed of motion?
The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.
What does the distance versus time graph show you?
It usually shows the distance of an object from a fixed point over a time period. The distance is usually measured in one specific direction so that radial motion is ignored.
In determining velocity of any object in motion Why is it important to know the distance and the time the object traveled?
Velocity is equal to distance divided by time.
What two things are measured regarding motion?
Distance and Time
Rate at which an object covers distance in particular direction?
That is called the velocity of the object. Velocity = Distance divided by Time taken.
Motion is measured in terms of?
distance covered per unit time. Motion has direction and magnitude. The magnitude might also be known as speed: meters/second, kilometers/hour feet/second, miles/hour
What is the rate of motion?
The rate of motion is Speed. (V=distance divided by time).
How do you describe an object's motion?
An objects motion or speed is distance divided by time.
Velocity and speed?
Velocity is how fast and what direction. The formula for this is distance over time, indicating the direction. (North East, South or West.) Speed is how fast something is moving. Speed is like velocity except velocity indicates direction. The formula is distance divided by time. Hope that helps. :)
What does a horizontal slope of a distance versus time graph indicate about an objects motion?
It is a measure of speed of the object, but only in the radial direction: that is, towards or away from the point from which distance is measured. The object could be going around that point in circular motion and the graph would show absolutely nothing.
