Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.

How is constant acceleration represented on a velocity time graph?

When an object moves in a straight line with constant acceleration, the equation describing its position (s) in terms of time (t) is a quadratic function like s = a t2 + b t + c, where a, b, and c are constants. The graph of such an equation is a parabola. However, if u plot velocity against time, the function is linear, and the graph is a straight line.


Can the average speed ever equal the instantaneous speed?

When there is no acceleration or when there is constant acceleration. When either of these cases is present, the graph of velocity versus time will be linear. When there is linear velocity, the average velocity will equal the instantaneous velocity at any point on the graph.

The slope of a speed-time linear graph is .?

acceleration


When the slope of v t graph is negative and constant what is the nature of acceleration?

acceleration is the slope of the v t graph... so the acceleration is constant and negative. In other words, the object is slowing down at a constant rate.


What would the graph look like on a position verse time plot with constant acceleration?

If the constant acceleration is positive, the graph would be an exponential (x2) graph. If there is constant acceleration, then velocity is always increasing, making the position change at an ever increasing rate.


What type of graph has a constant slope?
