∙ 14y agoThe slope of a speed vs position graph represents the rate at which the velocity is changing ( increasing or decreasing). This is the acceleration.

What does the slope of a speed-time graph represent?
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
What information does the slope of a speed time graph provide?
The slope of a speed/time graph at any point is the acceleration at that instant.
What does slope of speed time graph indicates?
The slope of the graph of speed vs time at each point isthe magnitude of the acceleration at that point in time.
What is the physical meaning of the slope of the graph of displacement vs time?
The slope of that graph at each point is the speed at that instant of time.
What does a line with a negative slope indicate on a speed-time graph?
Negative slope on a speed/time graph indicates decreasing speed. (Some call it "deceleration", although I wish they wouldn't.)
What does the slope of a speed-time graph represent?
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
What does slope of a speed time graph represent?
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
What does the slope represent on a distance versus time graph?
speed
What feature of a distance time graph represent speed?
The gradient (slope) of the line on the graph.
What does the slope of a curve represent on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
What does the slope of a time vs distance graph equal?
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
What does the slope of a linen on a distance - time graph represent?
The speed. Also, if a positive slope represents the speed in one direction, the negative slope is the speed in the opposite direction.
What does a slope of a time graph represent?
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
What does the slope of the curve on a distance v time graph represent?
The slope of the curve at each point on thegraph is the speed at that point in time. (Not velocity.)
What is the unit of the slope of the speed-time graph?
The slope represents acceleration. Assuming standard SI units (if the speed is in meters/second, and the time in seconds), the slope would represent meters/second2.
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.
