What is a position versus time-squared graph?
If you have an object that is accelerating, then a position vs. time graph will give you a parabola which is pretty but is very hard to measure anything on - especially hard to measure the acceleration (or the curve of the line). If however, you graph position vs. time squared, you get a nice straight line (if you have constant acceleration) and therefore, you can measure the slope and get the acceleration. Remember: x = 1/2at2 so if you graph x vs. t2 then the slope = 1/2 a or a = 2*slope No matter what you are measuring, you always want to graph a straight line. hope that helps
The slope of a position- time graph?
It is the average velocity.
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.
