instantaneous magnitude of velocity
The rate of change in accelleration.
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
Area under velocity versus time graph(between two given instances of time i.e. two points on time axis) gives the displacement of the body( whose graph was plotted) between those two instances i.e. in that time interval. Area under velocity time graph can be found from definite integration if the graph is a curve. Note: Area under velocity versus time graph gives displacement not distance covered by body. Note: Area enclosed between the plotted curve and time axis is taken. For convenience time should be taken in the x-axis.
It tells you that the velocity of the body is not constant. There is acceleration or deceleration.
The acceleration of the ball can be estimated by calculating the slope of the velocity versus time graph. If the graph is a straight line, the slope represents the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration. If the graph is curved, the instantaneous acceleration can be estimated by finding the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the curve.
No, the slope of a speed-versus-time graph represents the rate of change of speed, not acceleration. Acceleration is represented by the slope of a velocity-versus-time graph.
The slope of a velocity versus time graph gives acceleration. By calculating the slope of the graph at a particular point, you can determine the acceleration of an object at that specific moment in time.
A straight line with a positive slope could represent the velocity versus time graph of a motorcycle whose speed is increasing.
Yes, acceleration is the slope of a velocity versus time graph.
Not necessarily. The graph of instantaneous velocity versus time may or may not have a Y-axis intercept of zero. It depends on the initial conditions and motion of the object. If the object starts from rest, then the initial velocity is zero, and the graph will have a Y-axis intercept at zero.

Acceleration can be obtained from a velocity line graph by calculating the slope of the line at a particular point. The slope of the line represents the rate of change of velocity, which is the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration.
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
Assuming the graph is for displacement versus time, the motion should be constant velocity. If velocity versus time motion is constant acceleration
The displacement of an object from a velocity-time graph can be determined by finding the area under the velocity-time graph. For example, the displacement over a certain time interval can be calculated by finding the area of the corresponding region under the velocity-time graph. This can be done by calculating the area of the trapezoid or rectangle formed by the graph.
