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 upward sloping diagonal line on a velocity vs. time graph represents constant acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration.
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.
If a position versus time graph is parabolic, then:Speed versus time is a straight line.Acceleration (magnitude) vs time is a horizontal line, so the acceleration is constant.The graph of height/time for a stone or a baseballtossed upward is an inverted parabola.
A position-time graph, is one in which position is plotted on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis. A position-time graph is similar to a distance-time graph, but direction of motion in the y-axis.
An upward sloping diagonal line on a velocity vs. time graph represents constant acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration.
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.
The graph would be a straight line with a positive slope, indicating a constant displacement over time.
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.
This means your velocity is decreasing with time, or in other words, the object is slowing down.
No, if the speed is steadily increasing, the graph will not show a straight diagonal line. Instead, it will show a curve that is sloping upwards, indicating acceleration. This is because as time progresses, the speed is increasing at a constant rate, resulting in a curved line on the graph. A straight diagonal line would indicate a constant speed over time.
A position vs. time graph showing positive acceleration would be a straight line sloping upwards from left to right.
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.
An upward sloping straight line.
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.
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.
If a position versus time graph is parabolic, then:Speed versus time is a straight line.Acceleration (magnitude) vs time is a horizontal line, so the acceleration is constant.The graph of height/time for a stone or a baseballtossed upward is an inverted parabola.
