What does the slope represent on a distance versus time graph?
speed
What does the slope of a distance-time graph represent?
speed (magnitude of velocity)
What does the slope of the curve on a distance-versus-time graph represent?
speed
What does the slope of distance versus time graph represent physically?
Tangent of the slope at any point = velocity
When the motion of an object is shown by a straight line on a distance versus time graph with distance on the y-axis what will the slope of the line be?
The slope of a line or a distance-vs-time graph will represent the speed of the object.
What does the slope of a position vs time graph represent?
If by position, you mean distance, then the slope or gradient of the line of distance vs. time represents speed.
What does the slope of distance-versus-time graph represent physically?
instantaneous magnitude of velocity
What does the slope of a distance vs time graph represent?
The slope of a graph with distance on the Y axis and time on the X represents the speed. Sometimes we say it represents velocity. (Speed with direction = velocity)
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.
Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?
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.
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.)
