The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
Force
A gradual change in the gradient (slope).
vertical height over lengh
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.
Draw a tangent to the curve at the point where you need the gradient and find the gradient of the line by using gradient = up divided by across
The answer will depend on what variables are graphed!
You can calculate speed by taking the gradient (dy/dx) from a Distance-time graph since s=d/t
Using limits and the basic gradient formula: rise/run.
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
To get speed from a distance-time graph, you would calculate the slope of the graph at a given point, as the gradient represents speed. To calculate total distance covered, you would find the total area under the graph, as this represents the total distance traveled over time.
In a displacement-time graph, the gradient represents velocity. In a velocity-time graph, the gradient represents acceleration.
The answer depends on what the graph is of!
Calculate the gradient of the curve which will give the acceleration. Change the sign of the answer to convert acceleration into retardation.
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
The gradient of the graph.
Not if the gradient calculation is done correctly.
