That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.

How do you calculate speed of a distance time graph?
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.
Can you calculate the initial speed from speed-time graph?
Yes.
Can you calculate speed from a motion graph?
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
What formula is used to calculate motion?
You can use a graph to calculate speed.
How do you read and calculate speed from a motion graph?
You can calculate speed by taking the gradient (dy/dx) from a Distance-time graph since s=d/t
How do you calculate forse on a speed time graph?
If you only have the speed/time graph, you can't calculate force out of it. You could if you also knew the mass of the object that's speeding along, but not with the speed alone.
Is distancetime a mathematical expression in average speed?
yes, if you mean that speed=distance divided by time, also known as distance/time
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
What part of the graph represents uniform positive and negative acceleration Calculate this acceleration.?
The answer depends on whether the graph is that of speed v time or distance v time.
What will the acceleration-time graph show if the speed is decelerating?
On a graph of acceleration vs. time, during deceleration the line is below zero. On a graph of speed vs. time, during deceleration the line has a negative slope (sloping downward from left to right).
What eqution do you use to calculate speed?
To calculate average speed, you measure how long it takes(T) to get from point A to point B. Then you use the formula below: speed = (B - A)/T
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.
