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.
The slope of a speed vs time graph is equal to?
The ratio of rise to run.
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
What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate an object's motion?
The slope of a speed vs time graph indicates an objects acceleration.
In a graph speed versus time what is the meaning of the slope?
The slope of the speed-vs-time graph is the magnitude of acceleration.
