Force, in Newtons, can be expressed as Kg*m/s2. Acceleration can be expressed as m/s2. If you divide it out, you get:
= N / (m/s2) <<< write the expression as a fraction
= Kg*(m/s2) / (m/s2) <<< we rewrite the expression with compatible units
= Kg * (m/s2) * (s2/m) <<< dividing by a fraction = multiplying by reciprocal
= Kg * (m*s2)/(m*s2) <<< (ms2)/(ms2) equals 1, so they cancel each other outThe units are velocity / time, or acceleration. In SI units, that would be meters/second2.
The slope of a velocity-time graph is acceleration. If it is a straight line, then it is the average acceleration. Force is not part of the velocity-time graph.
the slope at any point on the graph is the acceleration
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a speed/time graph at any point is the acceleration at that instant.
The slope of that graph at each point is the speed at that instant of time.
False. The slope of a velocity vs time graph is acceleration
That one, there!
Slope is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x (also known as "rise over run"). If a slope is 18 , then it "rises" 18 units, for every 1 unit of x.
1) You write the equation in slope-intercept form, if it isn't in that form already. 2) An easy way to graph it is to start with the y-intercept. For example, if the intercept is +5, you graph the point (0, 5). Then you add an additional point, according to the slope. For example, if the slope is 1/2, you go 2 units to the right, and one up, and graph a point there.
The slope represents acceleration. Assuming standard SI units (if the speed is in meters/second, and the time in seconds), the slope would represent meters/second2.
the slope tells you the angle to draw a line. for example the slope 3/5 tells you that line line rises 3 units for every 5 units it moves across the x axis. this can be remembered by rise over run.
The velocity. To convince yourself, consider the units of the slope. Slope = rise/run = vertical/horizontal= distance/time=units of velocity. Alternately, consider the meaning of the graph. Where the slope is high, the distance is changing fast over a small time - high velocity.

The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.
