It means acceleration.
It means that either the distance is measured from the starting-line and the object is moving forward, or else the distance is measured from the finish-line and the object is moving backwards, because the distance is growing as time goes on. If the upward sloping diagonal line is straight, it means the speed is constant. (not velocity)
An downward sloping diagonal line on a position vs. time graph indicates constant negative acceleration or deceleration. This means that the object is moving in the negative direction and slowing down over time.
A sudden change in slope or discontinuity in the graph would indicate a phase change taking place. This can be seen as a sharp point or step-like feature in the graph.
To calculate distance from a velocity-time graph, you would find the area under the curve, as this represents the displacement or distance traveled. If the graph is above the time axis, calculate the area above the time axis, and if it dips below, calculate the area below the time axis. Summing these two areas will give you the total distance traveled.
If acceleration is increasing with time, the velocity graph will be concave up. This is because a positive acceleration causes the velocity to increase over time, resulting in a curve that opens upward on the velocity-time graph.
It means that either the distance is measured from the starting-line and the object is moving forward, or else the distance is measured from the finish-line and the object is moving backwards, because the distance is growing as time goes on. If the upward sloping diagonal line is straight, it means the speed is constant. (not velocity)
This means your velocity is decreasing with time, or in other words, the object is slowing down.
The graph would be a straight line with a positive slope, indicating a constant displacement over time.
False. A horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph indicates constant velocity, not constant acceleration. Positive acceleration would be represented by a diagonal line sloping upwards on a velocity vs. time graph.
An upward sloping straight line.
A straight line sloping upwards on a position-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant positive velocity. The slope of the line represents the velocity of the object.
Acceleration , which is change of velocity over time.
An upward sloping straight line indicates that the object being studied is moving away from the origin and that the component of its velocity in the radial direction is a constant. A downward sloping line indicates it is moving towards the origin. However, neither line says anything about the transverse component of its motion.
An Upward Sloping Straight Line. <3
The graph of a ball thrown vertically upward and coming downward without air resistance would be symmetrical around the peak. The velocity would be positive during the upward motion (accelerating upwards and then slowing down until it momentarily stops at the peak) and negative during the downward motion (accelerating downwards). The acceleration due to gravity would cause the velocity to increase in the downward direction until it reaches the initial velocity at the start.
Deceleration can be symbolized as a negative value in an equation or graph, indicating a decrease in speed or velocity. It can also be represented by a downward sloping line on a velocity-time graph, showing a decrease in velocity over time.
The velocity-time graph of an object thrown vertically upward will have a parabolic shape. The velocity will decrease from the initial positive value until reaching zero at the peak of its motion, then become negative as it falls back down. The velocity-time graph will be symmetric about the point where the object reaches its highest point.
