It is the radial velocity: that is, the speed in the direction towards or away from the origin. The slope will not be affected in any way at all by movement in other directions.
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
The ratio of rise to run.
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 speed vs time graph indicates an objects acceleration.
The slope of the speed-vs-time graph is the magnitude of acceleration.
If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
False. Velocity is the slope of a position vs time graph, not a displacement vs time graph. Displacement vs time graphs show how an object's position changes over time, while velocity represents the rate of change of position.
When the slope of a position vs. time graph is constant, it indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity. This type of motion is called uniform motion, where the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
The slope of a force vs. time graph is equal to the change in momentum or the Impulse.
The position vs time graph of an object shows its location at different times, while the velocity vs time graph shows how fast the object is moving at those times. The slope of the position vs time graph represents the velocity on the velocity vs time graph.
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
The slope of a time vs distance graph represents the speed or velocity of an object. It is calculated as the change in distance divided by the change in time. A steeper slope indicates a greater speed.
Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.
The ratio of rise to run.
To find kinematic variables from a graph of position vs. time, one can calculate velocity by finding the slope of the graph at a specific point, and acceleration by finding the slope of the velocity vs. time graph. Additionally, one can determine displacement by finding the area under the velocity vs. time graph.
Speed. More specifically... velocity.
