The slope distance, like walking up a hill, is always longer than the horizontal distance. A map shows horizontal (flat) distance and does not take onto account the extra distance to go up and down from one point to another.
The slope of a distance vs. time graph is a measure of the rate of change of the distance over time. It tells you the speed at which the distance is changing. If the slope is positive it means the distance is increasing with time. If the slope is negative it means the distance is decreasing with time. If the slope is zero it means the distance is not changing with time. Positive slope: distance is increasing with time. Negative slope: distance is decreasing with time. Zero slope: distance is not changing with time.The slope of the graph can be used to calculate the average speed of an object over a certain period of time. By taking the change in distance and dividing it by the change in time the average speed can be calculated.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
decreased in proportion to the slope
Surveying terminology. The measure of distance along a slope. The distance of a line where elevation changes from point 1 to point 2
The slope of a time vs distance graph represents the speed or velocity of an object. It is calculated as the change in distance divided by the change in time. A steeper slope indicates a greater speed.
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of an object. It is calculated as the ratio of the change in distance to the change in time. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed.
The slope indicates speed (magnitude of velocity). For instance, if time is plotted on the X axis and distance on the Y axis, then the steeper the slope, the higher the speed. That is to say that more distance is covered in less time - and, of course, vice versa for a lower slope.
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.
The slope increases.
Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
The slope of a line on a distance over time graph represents the speed or velocity of the object. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed, while a shallower slope indicates a slower speed. If the line has a negative slope, it indicates that the object is moving in the opposite direction.
