What else can I help you with?
How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
What information can be learned from a position-time graph and from a speed-time graph?
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.
The scale in a graph is determined by?
The scale in a graph is determined by the range of the dependent and independent variables.
How is frequency determined in a graph?
The answer depends on what the graph displays.
How is the instantaneous speed obtained from a speed - time graph?
The instantaneous speed at a specific point on a speed-time graph is the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point. It represents the speed of an object at that exact moment in time. This can be determined by calculating the gradient at that particular point.
How does a graph showing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?
Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.
How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
What is the type of graph used to show the speed of an object?
speed graph
What is indicated on a speed graph?
Acceleration is indicated on a speed/time graph.
Sketch a distance-time graph for a body starting from rest how will you determine the speed of a body from this graph?
It is not possible to sketch anything using this browser. The speed of a body cannot be determined from a distance-time graph. The slope of the graph is a measure of the radial velocity - that is the speed directly towards or directly away from the starting point. However, there is absolutely no information of any motion in a transverse direction. Since motion in this direction cannot be assumed to be 0, the distance-time graph cannot be used to determine speed.
How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?
To find acceleration from a speed-time graph, you need to calculate the slope of the speed-time graph. The slope at any point on the speed-time graph represents the acceleration at that specific time. If the speed-time graph is linear, then the acceleration will be constant. If the speed-time graph is curved, you can find the acceleration by calculating the slope of the tangent line at a specific point.
How fast is an object going if its speed and time graph is horizontal?
An object can only gain speed if there is a net force on it. If a net horizontal force acting on an object is large enough, or acts for a long enough time, the object can aquire a speed up to just under the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s.
