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'.)
A position time graph can show you velocity. As time changes, so does position, and the velocity of the object can be determined. For a speed time graph, you can derive acceleration. As time changes, so does velocity, and the acceleration of the object can be determined.If you are plotting velocity (speed) versus time, the slope is the acceleration.
you can't....it's merely impossible! Assuming it is a graph of velocity vs time, it's not impossible, it's simple. Average velocity is total distance divided by total time. The total time is the difference between finish and start times, and the distance is the area under the graph between the graph and the time axis.
Not necessarily. The graph of instantaneous velocity versus time may or may not have a Y-axis intercept of zero. It depends on the initial conditions and motion of the object. If the object starts from rest, then the initial velocity is zero, and the graph will have a Y-axis intercept at zero.
EV on Earth is 11.186 km/s EV on Uranus is 21.3 km/s
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
The position versus time graph of a body undergoing constant acceleration is a curved line that slopes upwards or downwards, depending on the direction of acceleration. The curve is not a straight line because the velocity of the body is changing at a constant rate.
It is called instantaneous velocity and is the slope of the line tangent to the point on the position versus time graph. It also can be found by differentiating position with respect to time (i.e. dx/dt)Instantaneous Speed
Yes.

velocity
Assuming the graph is for displacement versus time, the motion should be constant velocity. If velocity versus time motion is constant acceleration
The slope of [distance vs. time] is [speed]. If the slope is constant, then the speed is constant,meaning the magnitude of acceleration is zero.(The direction of velocity might still be changing though, which wouldn't show up on the graph.)
The velocity versus time graph of an object receiving an applied net force will show a linear increase or decrease in velocity, depending on the direction of the force.
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal, it indicates that the object is not changing its position over time. In other words, the object is at rest and not moving.

There is no such thing as a "slope under the curve", so I assume that you mean "slope of the curve". If the curve is d vs. t, where d is displacement and t is time, then the slope at any given point will yield (reveal) the velocity, since velocity is defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time. Mathematically speaking, velocity is the first derivative of position with respect to time. The second derivative - change in velocity with respect to time - is acceleration.
