What else can I help you with?
How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
What information does the slope on a distance time graph give?
Speed
What does the slope of the distance time graph give?
The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a flatter slope indicates a lower speed.
Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
What does the slope of a distnace-time graph give you?
It gives you the speed. (not the velocity)
Does the slope of a distance-graph give average speed?
A graph requires two numerical variables before it can have a meaningful slope. A distance-graph has only one variable so it does ot have a slope in any meaningful way. For eaxmple, you could have a graph showing the distances of varoius places from, say London.
Why do you need slope?
Slopes give you the rate of change. On a distance vs. time graph the rate of change (i.e. the slope) is the velocity. On a Velovity vs. Time graph the rate of change is the acceleration. etc.
What is the difference between a velocity time graph and a position time graph?
Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
How is deceleration represented on a velocity per time graph?
It is radial the velocity in a direction towards or away from a fixed point of reference (the origin) at a given time. The velocity time graph takes no account of motion in a direction across the radial direction.
What information does the slope of the line in distance-time graph give?
It gives the velocity of the object in the radial direction. The graph gives no information whtsoever about motion in a transverse direction.
The slope at any point of a distance-time graph repersents what?
The slope of the line is equal to the velocity of the object. Since the slope of a line is determined as rise over run, the slope of this line would be meters over seconds. This is the unit for velocity, m/s.rise/run = meters/secondThe labels on the graph will give you much more information than you think.
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.
