The slope at each point on a speed/time graph is the
magnitude of acceleration at that point in time.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?
To find acceleration from a speed-time graph, you need to calculate the slope of the speed-time graph. The slope at any point on the speed-time graph represents the acceleration at that specific time. If the speed-time graph is linear, then the acceleration will be constant. If the speed-time graph is curved, you can find the acceleration by calculating the slope of the tangent line at a specific point.
How does a graph showing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?
Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.
How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
What is indicated on a speed graph?
Acceleration is indicated on a speed/time graph.
Does the slope of the line on a speed time graph tells the speed?
No. The slope on a speed vs time graph tells the acceleration.
What would be the shape of a speed - time graph of a body?
If speed changes, then the speed/time graph has up/down curves in it.
What does speed-time graph represent?
It represents the speed of a moving object at any time covered by the graph.
On speed-time graph the measures acceleration?
On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.
What type of line is always found on a graph of constant speed?
it depends on what the graph is. if it is a distance vs time graph, the line will be a line with the slope being the speed/total time if it is a speed vs. time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=the speed if it is an acceleration vs time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=0
How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
How do you calculate speed of a distance time graph?
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.
