A period of constant positive acceleration;a second period of zero acceleration; a third period of constant negative acceleration.
The answer depends on what is plotted on the graph and what is happening with the acceleration then.
The answer depends on the variables in the graph! In a graph of age against mass there is nothing that represents acceleration.
Acceleration is how fast you get up to speed.
The answer will depend on the variables plotted on the graph!
This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
The slope of a velocity vs. time graph represents acceleration. A positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, a negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction, and a horizontal line indicates constant velocity.
A positive slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction (e.g., right or up) and experiencing a constant acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration of the object.
The slope of a speed-time graph represents the acceleration of the object. A positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, a negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction, and a zero slope indicates constant speed.
The answer depends on whether the graph is that of speed v time or distance v time.
A region with nonuniform positive acceleration on a velocity-time graph would appear as a curved or non-linear section where the velocity is increasing at a variable rate.
False. A horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates constant velocity, not constant acceleration. Positive acceleration would be represented by a diagonal line sloping upwards on a velocity vs. time graph.
The acceleration vs. time graph for something moving at a constant positive velocity will be a horizontal line at zero acceleration. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the velocity is not changing (constant), then the acceleration is zero.
On a position vs. time plot with constant acceleration, the graph would be a curved line, not a straight line. The curve would be concave upward if the acceleration is positive and concave downward if the acceleration is negative. The slope of the line would represent the velocity at any given time.
A period of constant positive acceleration;a second period of zero acceleration; a third period of constant negative acceleration.
The slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration of an object. Positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction, and zero slope indicates constant velocity.
The slope of the instantaneous speed-vs-time graph represents the acceleration of the object. A positive slope indicates the object is accelerating in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction. The steeper the slope, the greater the magnitude of the acceleration.
