it means that the object is gradually getting faster
acceleration
No. Slope of position/time graph is speed, or magnitude of velocity.Slope of speed/time graph is magnitude of acceleration.
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'.)
No, but the slope of the graph does.
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
A position time graph can show you velocity. As time changes, so does position, and the velocity of the object can be determined. For a speed time graph, you can derive acceleration. As time changes, so does velocity, and the acceleration of the object can be determined.If you are plotting velocity (speed) versus time, the slope is the acceleration.
No. The slope on a speed vs time graph tells the acceleration.
The slope of the speed-vs-time graph is the magnitude of acceleration.
The slope of a speed/time graph at any point is the acceleration at that instant.
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 velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
No. Slope of position/time graph is speed, or magnitude of velocity.Slope of speed/time graph is magnitude of acceleration.
acceleration
The slope of the graph of speed vs time at each point isthe magnitude of the acceleration at that point in time.
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'.)
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.
