Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no information
regarding acceleration's direction).
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
velocity.
If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.
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.)
The tangent at a point on the position-time graph represents the instantaneous velocity. 1. The tangent is the instantaneous slope. 2. Rather than "average" velocity, the slope gives you "instantaneous" velocity. The average of the instantaneous gives you average velocity.
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
The rate of Change in acceleration.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration. A positive slope indicates an increase in velocity over time, while a negative slope indicates a decrease in velocity (deceleration). The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration or deceleration experienced by the object.
The rate of change in accelleration.
instantaneous magnitude of velocity
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.
