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.
How do you calculate slope on a position time graph?
Calculate slope as slope=(y2-y1)/(t2-t1).
How do you calculate velocity from an x-t graph?
If an x-t graph is a position-time graph, velocity is the slope of the line on the graph.
How do you create a straight line that slopes up on a position-time graph?
A straight line with a positive slope on a position-time graph is the graph of an object that's moving in a straight line with constant speed.
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.
