Which physical quantity is calculated by the slope of distance time graph?
The radial velocity ie velocity towards or away from your starting point. It is NOT the ordinary speed or velocity because you can run in a circle around your starting point at top speed but the distance will not change so the slope of the distance time graph will be zero.
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.
Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
The slope of a position- time graph?
It is the average velocity.
What is the physical property represented by the slope of a distance time graph?
The velocity. To convince yourself, consider the units of the slope. Slope = rise/run = vertical/horizontal= distance/time=units of velocity. Alternately, consider the meaning of the graph. Where the slope is high, the distance is changing fast over a small time - high velocity.
