What does the area under an acceleration time graph show?
The area under an acceleration-time graph is equal to the object's velocity (not change in velocity).
What does slope of velocity-time graph represent?
Magnitude of acceleration (but conveys no informationregarding acceleration's direction).
What does the slope of a curve represent on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
What does a flat line represent on a speed time graph?
Motion at a constant speed - no acceleration or deceleration.
What is represented by a single point on a curved line in a distance time graph showing accelerated motion?
instantaneous acceleration* * * * *No it does not.The graph is a distance-time graph so the coordinates of a point on the graph represent the position (distance) at the specified time. The gradient of the tangent to the curve at that point represents the instantaneous radial velocity. The second derivative at that point, if it exists, would represent the acceleration.
