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 does the slope of a velocity time graph indicate?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
Does the horizontal line on the velocity vs time graph indicate a constant and positive acceleration?
Ahorizontal line on a velocity vs time graph does not indicate any acceleration because there is no slope. Speed remains constant.
What is the meaning of each of the following features of a velocity-time graph the slope of the line?
The slope of a line on a velocity-time graph is acceleration.
What is slope of velocity graph?
The slope of a straight line tells the rate at which your variables are changing. In this case, it tells you how your velocity is changing over time, which in physics is how we define acceleration. If you graph the velocity of an object vs time when it is falling through the air, it gives to the acceleration due to gravity because that is the acceleration all objects fall at.

What does the slope of a distanced-time graph indicate?
magnitude of velocity
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is changing?
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
What does the slope of an acceleration time graph indicate?
The rate at which acceleration is changing.
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.)
Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate large velocity?
yes
What does the slope of a distance vs time graph indicate about an object's motion?
instantaneous velocity
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a velocity vs. time graph is zero?
It means that the velocity is constant, or not changing.
What does the slope of a velocity time graph indicate?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
What feature of a distance ortime graph represents speed?
slope of the graph ... actually the absolute value of the slope, actual slope, positive or negative, would indicate direction, so the slope would be velocity.
What does a less steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?
A less steep slope indicates a slower velocity than that of a steeper slope.
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position versus time graph is constant?
The slope of [distance vs. time] is [speed]. If the slope is constant, then the speed is constant,meaning the magnitude of acceleration is zero.(The direction of velocity might still be changing though, which wouldn't show up on the graph.)
