What does the steepness of a line on a time-distance graph represent?

The steepness of the line on a distance-time graph represents the radial speed of the object. That is, the speed with which the object is moving towards or away from the origin. The steepness takes absolutely no account of the transverse speed, so you can be going around the origin in a circle at a great speed but, since your distance remains the same, the D-T graph will be flat: implying speed = 0.


How is motion shown by a graph?

Motion can be represented by a graph, typically a position-time graph, where the x-axis represents time and the y-axis represents position. The slope of the line indicates the speed of the object; a steeper slope signifies a faster speed, while a flat line indicates no movement. Curved lines can represent acceleration or deceleration, showing changes in speed over time. The area under the curve (in velocity-time graphs) can also indicate the distance traveled.


What does horizonal line on a speed timev graph indicate?

A horizontal line on a speed vs time graph indicates constant speed.


What type of graph do you use for speed?

Line graph.


How can you determine speed from a distance time graph?

To determine speed from a distance-time graph, you can calculate the slope of the line on the graph. The slope is defined as the change in distance (vertical axis) divided by the change in time (horizontal axis). A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a flat line indicates no movement. The speed can be expressed as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken, and it remains constant for linear sections of the graph.

How can i draw a line graph to represent a car traveling at twice a speed?

i dont think you can use a line graph for that. i think a table would be better...


What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?

What figure could represent the velocity versus time graph of a motorcycle whose speed is increasing?

A straight line with a positive slope could represent the velocity versus time graph of a motorcycle whose speed is increasing.


How speed of zero would appear on a graph?

-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.


A flat line on a velocity v time graph represents what?

The flat line tells us that the object is moving at a constant velocity. It has zero acceleration.


What type of line is always found on a graph of constant speed?

it depends on what the graph is. if it is a distance vs time graph, the line will be a line with the slope being the speed/total time if it is a speed vs. time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=the speed if it is an acceleration vs time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=0


What can you say about the motion of an object if its speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?

If the graph if speed vs. time is a straight line parallel to the time axis, then the speed is not changing.Acceleration is the slope of the line on such a graph. Slope is (speed change) divided by (time for the change).Since the speed doesn't change over any period of time, the slope of the line is zero.The object's speed is constant. Its acceleration is zero.
