The slope of a position- time graph?
It is the average velocity.
How can you obtain the average velocity from a displacement time graph?
-- Pick two points on the graph. -- Find the difference in time between the two points. -- Find the difference in displacement between the same two points. -- (Difference in displacement) divided by (difference in time) is the average Speed . You can't tell anything about velocity from the graph except its magnitude, because the graph displays no information regarding the direction of motion.

What is the difference between a velocity time graph and a position time graph?
Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
What is a velocity time graph in detail?
A velocity time graph is still a velocity time graph - no matter the degree of detail that you look at it.
How do you find the average speed from a velocity time graph?
To find the average speed from a velocity-time graph, calculate the total distance traveled and divide it by the total time taken. This will give you the average speed. Alternatively, you can find the slope of the secant line that connects the initial and final points on the graph to determine the average speed.
Does the slope of a position time graph represent average velocity or rate of change of velocity?
The tangent at a point on the position-time graph represents the instantaneous velocity. 1. The tangent is the instantaneous slope. 2. Rather than "average" velocity, the slope gives you "instantaneous" velocity. The average of the instantaneous gives you average velocity.
How can one determine the average acceleration from a velocity-time graph?
To determine the average acceleration from a velocity-time graph, you can calculate the slope of the line connecting the initial and final velocity points on the graph. This slope represents the average acceleration over that time interval.
How do you find instantaneous velocity from position time graph?
To find instantaneous velocity from a position-time graph, you calculate the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the graph. The slope represents the rate of change of position at that instant, which is equivalent to the velocity at that particular moment.
Where must the average velocity for an interval be plotted on a velocity-time graph to represent an instantaneous velocity?
The average velocity for an interval must be plotted at the middle of the time interval to represent an instantaneous velocity on a velocity-time graph.
How to find the velocity of a position-time graph?
To find the velocity of a position-time graph, you calculate the slope of the graph at a specific point. The slope represents the rate of change of position with respect to time, which is the velocity. The steeper the slope, the greater the velocity.
The slope of a position- time graph?
It is the average velocity.
How can you obtain the average velocity from a displacement time graph?
-- Pick two points on the graph. -- Find the difference in time between the two points. -- Find the difference in displacement between the same two points. -- (Difference in displacement) divided by (difference in time) is the average Speed . You can't tell anything about velocity from the graph except its magnitude, because the graph displays no information regarding the direction of motion.
Is Average velocity the slope of the line tangent to the curve on a velocity time graph at a specific instant of time?
No, average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time taken. The slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph at a specific instant of time gives the instantaneous velocity at that moment, not the average velocity.
What does displacement divided by time give you?
The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.
How can one determine velocity from an acceleration-time graph?
To determine velocity from an acceleration-time graph, you can find the area under the curve of the graph. This area represents the change in velocity over time. By calculating this area, you can determine the velocity at any given point on the graph.
How do you go from a position graph to a velocity graph?
you can't....it's merely impossible! Assuming it is a graph of velocity vs time, it's not impossible, it's simple. Average velocity is total distance divided by total time. The total time is the difference between finish and start times, and the distance is the area under the graph between the graph and the time axis.
