What else can I help you with?
Can a position time graph tell in which directionthe displacement of an object is?
Yes. If the slope is positive, the direction of the displacement is positive (e.g. north, east, or right). If the slope is negative, the direction of the displacement is negative (e.g. south, west, or left).
When velocity is changing what is happening to the slope on a position versus time graph?
That slope is the 'speed' of the motion. If the slope is changing, then the speed is changing. That's 'accelerated' motion. (It doesn't matter whether the speed is growing or shrinking. It's still 'accelerated' motion. 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.)
What does the slope of the line on a position versus time graph tell you about the objects speed?
The distance versus time graph shows the position of the object. The slope of the line shows the velocity of the object. The velocity is the direction and speed of an object. If your slope has a positive slant that means you are going in a positive direction. If the slope has a negative slant your object is going in a negative direction. If your slope is zero (a horizontal line) that means your object has stopped and is about to change directions. In case you didnt know a positive slant looks like this on a graph.... / a negative slant looks like this on a graph.... \ postive is like sloping up a hill negative is like falling down the hill
What is the position time graph corresponding to this situation?
Why don't you relax and tell me something about the situation.
How can I tell when two objects have the same velocity on a position graph?
When two objects have the same velocity on a position graph, their position vs. time graphs will have parallel lines with the same slope. This indicates that both objects are covering the same distance in the same amount of time, resulting in the same velocity.
What is the slope of a graph line?
it is impossible to tell the slope of a line graph without proper points to evaluate from.
How do you tell whether a graph shows a constant or variable rate of change?
The slope of each point on the line on the graph is the rate of change at that point. If the graph is a straight line, then its slope is constant. If the graph is a curved line, then its slope changes.
What does the slope of a line tell you on a graph?
the rate of change on the line.
What does the slope of the line on a distance-time graph tell you?
velocity
What does calculating the slope of a graph tell you about the data?
nothing that will help you in life
How can you tell from a graph on a line what type of slope it has?
If the line slants up and to the right, it has a positive slope. If it is slanting up and to the left, it has a negative slope.
On a distance time graph how can you tell which object is moving?
You can tell which object is moving by looking at the slope of the graph. A steeper slope indicates a faster-moving object, while a flatter slope indicates a slower-moving object. Additionally, a positive slope indicates forward motion, while a negative slope indicates backward motion.
How does a graph line with a steeper slope compared to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How does a graph line with steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How does a line graph with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How can you tell from a graph that speed increases?
If the slope of the graph increases, then speed is increasing. This can be seen as a steeper incline on the graph. Another way to tell is if the distance covered in a specific time period gets larger, indicating a higher speed.
How does a line graph line with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
