The slope of a speed vs time graph indicates an objects acceleration.
Slope at any point is speed. if slope is constant (staight line)then speed is constant; if curved up speed is accelerating. If curved down it is decelerating
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.
A straight line with a positive slope on a position-time graph is the graph of an object that's moving in a straight line with constant speed.
No. Slope of position/time graph is speed, or magnitude of velocity.Slope of speed/time graph is magnitude of acceleration.
No, but the slope of the graph does.
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.
The slope of a speed vs time graph indicates an objects acceleration.
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
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'.)
-- If the position/time graph is a straight line, then the speed is constant, and the slope of the line is the average speed, as well as the instantaneous speed at any moment. -- If the position/time graph is not a straight line, then the average speed between two moments in time is the slope of a straight line drawn between those two points on the graph.
speed (magnitude of velocity)
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.
magnitude of acceleration at every point on the graph
The slope of the curve.
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.
