What shows the speed on a distance-time graph?

The slope of the graph line or curve.


True or false a distance time graph shows how speed changes with time?

False. A distance-time graph shows the relationship between distance traveled and time, indicating how far an object has moved over a specific period. To analyze how speed changes with time, one would need a speed-time graph, where the speed of the object is plotted against time. The slope of the distance-time graph represents speed, but it does not directly show changes in speed over time.


What is a time distance graph?

A distance vs time squared graph shows shows the relationship between distance and time during an acceleration. An example of an acceleration value would be 3.4 m/s^2. The time is always squared in acceleration therefore the graph can show the rate of which an object is moving


A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?

If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.


Distance time graph?

distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.


What kind of graph shows an object's speed?

Speed = distance / time A line graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis could be used to determine speed. The speed would equal the slope of the line. Alternatively, a line graph with distance/time on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis would show speed. The acceleration would equal the slope of the line.


How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?

speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time


How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?

The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.


Why is the slop on a distance time graph speed?

When looking at a distance vs. time graph, it shows how far an object is traveling over a certain amount of time which can be written like this: distance per time or distance/time (distance divided by time) If we then put units in for distance (let's say meters) and time (seconds) we get this: meters/seconds which is the same as the units for speed.


What happens to a graph of time and distance as speed increases?

The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.


Why area below the distance-time graph is used to calculate speed?

That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.


Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?

No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
