It represents the velocity of the object.

The slope of a position-time graph represents the velocity of an object. A steeper slope indicates a higher velocity, while a flatter slope indicates a lower velocity. Positive slopes represent motion in one direction, negative slopes represent motion in the opposite direction, and a horizontal line represents an object at rest.
No, the slope on a position-time graph represents the object's velocity, not acceleration. Acceleration would be represented by the slope of the velocity-time graph.
The slope of the curve.
The slope of the line tangent to the curve on a position-time graph at a specific time represents the velocity of the object at that particular moment. It indicates how fast the object is moving at that instant.
A position-time graph shows the relationship between an object's position and time. The position of the object is typically plotted on the y-axis, while time is on the x-axis. The slope of the graph represents the object's velocity, with a steeper slope indicating a higher velocity.
No, the speed of an object can be found by calculating the slope of a position-time graph. The steeper the slope, the greater the speed of the object.
