In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?
A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.
Is The slope on a position-time graph is representative of the acceleration of the object?
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.
On a V-t graph how does constant acceleration appear?
On a graph of speed versus time, where time is plotted along the horizontal (X) axis and speed along the vertical (Y) axis: -- constant speed (zero acceleration) produces a straight, horizontal line; -- constant acceleration produces a straight, sloped line; the slope of the line is equal to the acceleration; -- if the acceleration is positive, the line slopes up to the right (speed increases as time increases); -- if the acceleration is negative, the line slopes down to the right (speed decreases as time increases).
The slope of a speed vs time graph is equal to what?
Acceleration.
What does the slope in a speed time graph mean?
The slope of a speed-time graph represents the acceleration of an object. A steeper positive slope indicates faster acceleration, while a negative slope indicates deceleration. A horizontal line indicates a constant speed with zero acceleration.
