Slope is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x (also known as "rise over run"). If a slope is 18 , then it "rises" 18 units, for every 1 unit of x.
A horizontal line on a phase change graph means there has been no change. Often longer periods of research are needed to see significant change.
It means there is no movement towards or away from the point from which distances are measured - usually the origin. The object can be moving in a transverse direction at any speed and the graph would not show it.
A straight horizontal one does.
It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity
x axis means the horizontal line and y axis means the vertical line
It marks the origin - the point where the horizontal and vertical axes cross.
A horizontal line on a phase change graph means there has been no change. Often longer periods of research are needed to see significant change.
Horizontal means going left and right: ___ Vertical means going up and down: |
It means that the variable plotted on the vertical axis increases as the one plotted on the horizontal axis increase.
I believe you are confusing "horizontal" with "vertical". "Vertical" means "from top to bottom", or "upright". "Horizontal" means "from left to right", or "lying".
Vertical acceleration is the rate of change of velocity moving up or down, while horizontal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity moving left or right. Vertical acceleration is affected by gravity, while horizontal acceleration is typically due to external forces like friction or thrust.
The vertical axis in a plane coordinate graph
A horizontal line on an acceleration vs. time graph indicates constant acceleration over time. This means that the object is experiencing a steady rate of change in velocity.
the slope More often called the gradient in maths - but means the same. It's also given by differentiating the equation.
If there is no slope in a graph, it means that the line is horizontal. A horizontal line has a slope of zero. To graph a horizontal line, you simply draw a straight line that is parallel to the x-axis. The equation of a horizontal line is typically in the form y = k, where k is a constant value.
When a projectile's horizontal and vertical velocities are independent, it means that the horizontal velocity does not affect the vertical velocity, and vice versa. This means that the projectile will continue to move horizontally at a constant velocity regardless of its vertical motion, and its vertical motion will be affected only by gravity.
There is no such thing as exactly vertical because either it is vertical or it is not. You cannot have approximately vertical - it is not vertical, then. Vertical means at 90 degrees to the horizon (or horizontal).
