What is the shape of a displacement-time graph for an object that is constantly speeding up?
If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
How do you convert displacement time graph into distance time graph?
Displacement is distance from starting point. If the object is always travelling in the same direction then they are the same. If the object turns round, the distance would still be increasing, however the displacement would be decreasing at the same rate.
How would a distance-time graph show an object with no speed meaning it is not moving?
It would be a horizontal line, with a y-coordinate at the starting distance.
What does the slope of the graph indicate about the object's motion?
The answer will depend on whether the graph is a distance time graph or a speed time graph.The slope of a distance-time graph shows that speed of the object in the direction towards or away from the point of reference (usually the origin). It indicates absolutely nothing about its speed in any other direction. So, for example, an object could be rotating around the origin at the speed of light (the fastest possible) and the distance-time graph would show it being stationary bacause its distance from the origin is not changing!The slope of the speed-time graph indicated the acceleration of the object, again with the same qualification.
