How do you find instantaneous velocity from position time graph?
You can't, since the slope of the graph means average velocity and the area of the graph has no meaning. The only way to find instantaneous velocity from position-time gragh is by plugging the data into the kinematic equations to get the answer. Edit: Actually you can if you take the derivative of the equation of the curve it will give you the equation of the velocity curve
Is Average velocity the slope of the line tangent to the curve on a velocity time graph at a specific instant of time?
No, it is instantaneous acceleration.
The slope of a line drawn tangent to a point on the curve of a position vs time graph describes what concept?
It is the instantaneous velocity, if it were a graph with velocity over time, then it would be acceloration
What is the meaning of each of the following features of a velocity-time graph the slope of the line?
The slope of a line on a velocity-time graph is acceleration.
Name the two physical quantities which can be obtained from the velocity-time graph?
well, the area under the curve between a time interval is equal to the distance traveled on that specific time interval. So one quantity is distance. As for another quantity, the answer would be velocity, but I think they may want a less obvious answer. A quantity out side of velocity could be instantaneous acceleration. This is given by the slope of the the tangent line to the velocity-time graph. Hope this helps you answer your question. Though I think the most simple way to understanding why is to take a course of calculus.
What is velocity-time curve?
The graph of velocity-time is the acceleration.

What physical property does the slope of a velocity time graph represent?
velocity.
What is the nature of velocity time graph for uniform retardation?
straight line curve
What does the slope of the curve on a velocity time graph represent?
The rate of Change in acceleration.
Is Average velocity the slope of the line tangent to the curve on a velocity time graph at a specific instant of time?
No, it is instantaneous acceleration.
What does the slope of they curve on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The rate of change in accelleration.
What is a graph with time plotted on the x axis and distance plotted on the y axis called?
It could be a velocity graph or an acceleration graph. If the plot is a straight line it is constant velocity. If the plot is a curve it is acceleration.
What does the slope of a curve represent on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
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.)
On a speed time graph what measures acceleration?
deceleration can be measured from a velocity time graph by calculating the gradient of the velocity time graph if the V-t graph was linear. If the v-t graph was a curve then the differentiatial of the equation of the curve will give the deceleration variation with time.
What does the slope of the curve on a distance v time graph represent?
The slope of the curve at each point on thegraph is the speed at that point in time. (Not velocity.)
What is the meaning of each of the following features of a velocity-time graph the slope of the line?
The slope of a line on a velocity-time graph is acceleration.
