Best Answer

The origin of a graph is the point specified by the ordered pair (0,0). It is where both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are zero and their respective axes intercept.

The solution to a two-variable system is the point on a graph at which the lines cross?

That's the "coordinate origin" or simply the "origin".


How to calculate distance from a velocity time graph?

You cannot since the graph shows displacement in the radial direction against time. Information on transverse displacement, and therefore transverse velocity, is not shown. For example, there is no difference in the graph of you're staying still and that of your running around in a circle whose centre is the origin of the graph. In both cases, your displacement from the origin does not change and so the graph is a horizontal line. In the first case the velocity is 0 and in the second it is a constantly changing vector. All that you can find is the component of the velocity in the radial direction and this is the slope of the graph at the point in question.


Why are Kelvins easier than Celsius to graph?

It depends on what you are graphing and the domain. If you are tracking daily temperature in your town, for example, the only difference will be in the y-intercept: that is how high or low your graph is. If you must show the origin on the chart, though, the vertical scale will be much greater. If graphing some aspect of thermodynamics, the Kelvin graph should be simpler because it is likely to go through the origin.


What settings describe a displacement versus time graph?

Constant velocityZero acceleration and/or Moving object


What does a tangent to a velocity-time graph measure?

It will measure acceleration in the direction towards or away from the origin.
