It gives the velocity of the object in the radial direction. The graph gives no information whtsoever about motion in a transverse direction.

What information does the slope on a distance time graph give?

Speed


How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?

Slope of the graph will give you speed.


What does the slope of the distance time graph give?

The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a flatter slope indicates a lower speed.


Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?

if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.


What does the slope of a distnace-time graph give you?

The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity of an object. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed, while a shallower slope indicates a slower speed.


Does the slope of a distance-graph give average speed?

A graph requires two numerical variables before it can have a meaningful slope. A distance-graph has only one variable so it does ot have a slope in any meaningful way. For eaxmple, you could have a graph showing the distances of varoius places from, say London.


What information does the slope of a velocity time graph provide?

The information given by the slope of ("on") a distance-time graph is the SPEED. The size ("magnitude") of the slope is the size of the speed and the units of the distance axis are divided by the units on the time axis to give the units of the speed ... so if your distance is in miles and time is in hours then your speed will be in miles per ("divided by") hours (mph)... but if distance is in metres and time is in seconds then the speed is in metre per second (m/s).


The slope at any point of a distance-time graph repersents what?

The slope at any point on a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity of the object at that specific moment. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed, while a gentle slope indicates a slower speed.


What information does this graph give you?

If I can't see the graph then how will I know the answer?


Why do you need slope?

Slopes give you the rate of change. On a distance vs. time graph the rate of change (i.e. the slope) is the velocity. On a Velovity vs. Time graph the rate of change is the acceleration. etc.


Velocity is the slope of the displacement vs time graph?

Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.


What is the difference between a velocity time graph and a position time graph?

Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
