Not curved.
The graph of the speed will be an upward curving line increasing in curvature toward the vertical.Speed is the slope of the distance/time graph. If the speed is steadily increasing, then the slope of the line is steadily increasing. Assuming that time increases from left to right on the graph, the line curves up as it proceeds from left to right.The line representing speed would look like an increasing function, whose slope will be the acceleration.A parabola of form y=ax^2+bx+c, the a,b,c values depending on the rate of increase and initial value.
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
speed graph
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.
On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.

Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.
-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.
magnitude of acceleration at every point on the graph
If the graph of position vs. time is curved upward to the right, then speed (velocity) is increasing. Refer to the related link for more information.
-- constant acceleration -- speed increasing at a steady rate -- distance increasing as the square of the time since everything started
To simplify, let's take miles as the distance factor and times as at the top of the clock. In this case, you are plotting 1 mile on the y axis and 1:00 on the x axis (1,1,) ,(2,2) and (3,3) etc. The speed is obviously one mile per hour in this case.(1oclock,1)(2oclock,2).. Your final line on this graph will look like a 45 degree angle line, however you want your speed to increase. Since your speed is steadily increasing, you would plot (1oclock,1mile), (1:15,2mile), (1:25,3mile), (1:30,4mile) and the line would look steeper and closer to the y axis. Makes more sense to me to plot distance on the x axis and time on the y axis...but...
momentum As the speed of a rolling ball is increasing, the increasing speed is accompanied by: a. increasing momentum.
The answer is gather.
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.
