Does the slope of the line on a speed time graph tells the speed?
No. The slope on a speed vs time graph tells the acceleration.
What does straight line on a distance time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.
Does the slope of the line on a speed-time graph tell speed?
No. The vertical coordinate tells the speed in this case. The slow is the derivate of the speed, i.e., the acceleration.
How do you determine velocity using a position-time graph?
You can't determine velocity from that graph, because the graph tells you nothing about the direction of the motion. But you can determine the speed. The speed at any moment is the slope of a line that's tangent to the graph at that moment.
Is it true or false that the slope of the line on a speed-time graph tells the speed?
False. If speed is on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis, then any point (a,b) on the line will tell you the speed a at any given time b. The slope of the line will tell you the change in speed with respect to time, which we call acceleration.
