How do you know there is no motion on a distance time-graph?
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
What does a zero slope look like?
in a graph, a line with a zero slope is the one that is parallel to the x-axis. It is represented by an equation of the form y = a constant, independent of x values.
Derivative of zero?
The derivate of zero - as well as the derivative of ANY constant (non-variable) number, is zero. (A graph of y = 0 for example will be a horizontal line - the slope is zero.)
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets?
less steep (apex)
How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?
This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
How do you know there is no motion on a distance time-graph?
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
What is the slope of a graph that y equals -1?
The slope is zero.
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph gets?
As the slope get closer to zero, the graph becomes close to horizontal.
What is the slope of y equals 5?
That line is horizontal on the graph. Its slope is zero.
What is a graph of a line with a slope of zero?
It will be a horizontal line
What is the slope of the line y equals -5?
That line is horizontal on the graph. Its slope is zero.
How does a slope of zero look like on a graph?
a horizontal line
What kind of lines have a slope of zero?
On the standard Cartesian graph, horizontal lines have zero slope. They all have the equation Y = a number
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a velocity vs time graph is not zero?
When the slope of a velocity vs. time graph is not zero, it indicates that the object is accelerating. Positive slope means the object is speeding up, negative slope means it is slowing down.
What is the slope in the distance time graph when the body is at rest?
The slope of the distance-time graph when the body is at rest is zero. This indicates that there is no change in distance over time, meaning the body is stationary or not moving.
When there is no change in value from one data point to the next in a line graph what type of slope does the line that connects them have?
The slope is zero. Slope is rise over run, the rise is zero, so zero divided by anything is zero.
What is an example of a zero slope?
a stright line going acrossed the graph lines. :)
