How do you read a distance vs time graph and a speed vs time graph?
:Troll:
In position vs. time graph what variable does slope represent?
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
What is a position versus time-squared graph?
If you have an object that is accelerating, then a position vs. time graph will give you a parabola which is pretty but is very hard to measure anything on - especially hard to measure the acceleration (or the curve of the line). If however, you graph position vs. time squared, you get a nice straight line (if you have constant acceleration) and therefore, you can measure the slope and get the acceleration. Remember: x = 1/2at2 so if you graph x vs. t2 then the slope = 1/2 a or a = 2*slope No matter what you are measuring, you always want to graph a straight line. hope that helps
What is the difference between a speed vs time graph and a distance vs time graph?
The dependent variable.
What equal accleration on a speed vs time graph?
The gradient of the graph.
How do you read a distance vs time graph and a speed vs time graph?

What does the y intercept on a position vs time graph tell us?
The y-intercept on a position vs. time graph represents the initial position where the object started. It is the value of the position when time is zero.
Velocity is the slope of a displacement vs time graph true or false?
False. Velocity is the slope of a position vs time graph, not a displacement vs time graph. Displacement vs time graphs show how an object's position changes over time, while velocity represents the rate of change of position.
In position vs. time graph what variable does slope represent?
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
If the velocity is constant describe the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph.?
If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.
What does the area of a velocity vs time graph show you?
The position.
Velocity is the slope of the displacement vs time graph?
Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.
How do you make a velocity vs time graph from an acceleration vs time graph?
Your acceleration vs. Time graph is the slope of your velocity vs. time graph
When does the slope of a position vs time graph yields?
Speed. More specifically... velocity.
Graphical representation of motion?
Motion can be represented graphically using position-time graphs, velocity-time graphs, and acceleration-time graphs. These graphs provide information about how an object's position, velocity, and acceleration change over time. Position-time graphs show the object's position at different times, velocity-time graphs show how the velocity changes over time, and acceleration-time graphs show how the acceleration changes over time.
The slope of a line drawn tangent to a point on the curve of a position vs time graph describes what concept?
The slope of a line drawn tangent to a point on a position vs. time graph represents the instantaneous velocity of the object at that point. It describes how the position of the object is changing at that exact moment in time.
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is changing?
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
