∙ 11y agoTo find instantaneous velocity from a position-time graph, you calculate the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the graph. The slope represents the rate of change of position at that instant, which is equivalent to the velocity at that particular moment.
No, average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time taken. The slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph at a specific instant of time gives the instantaneous velocity at that moment, not the average velocity.
The slope of a line on a velocity-time graph is acceleration.
A velocity-time graph shows how an object's velocity changes over time. The slope of the graph represents the object's acceleration, and the area under the curve represents the total displacement of the object. It is a useful tool for understanding an object's motion.
Acceleration and displacement can be obtained from the velocity-time graph. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which can be found as the slope of the velocity-time graph. Displacement can be determined by finding the area under the velocity-time graph, as it represents the distance traveled by an object.
The graph of velocity-time is the acceleration.

velocity.
The slope of the graph of displacement vs time represents the velocity of an object. A steeper slope indicates a higher velocity, while a shallower slope indicates a lower velocity.
It could be a velocity graph or an acceleration graph. If the plot is a straight line it is constant velocity. If the plot is a curve it is acceleration.
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
The rate of change in accelleration.
No, average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time taken. The slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph at a specific instant of time gives the instantaneous velocity at that moment, not the average velocity.
To find the position from a velocity-vs-time graph, you need to calculate the area under the velocity curve. If the velocity is constant, the position can be found by multiplying the velocity by the time. If the velocity is changing, you need to calculate the area under the curve using calculus to determine the position.
To find the displacement from a negative velocity-time graph, you need to calculate the area under the curve for the portion representing displacement. If the velocity is negative, the displacement will be in the opposite direction. The magnitude of the displacement is equal to the absolute value of the area under the curve.
The slope of the curve at each point on thegraph is the speed at that point in time. (Not velocity.)
