What else can I help you with?
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 motion does a steep slope on a distance time graph show?
Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
What do the letter below the graph represent?
Well, a letter below a graph usually labels that axis, which is usually the x-axis. In a distance vs. time graph, the letter on the y-axis is usually D for distance, and the letter on the x-axis is usually T for time. That's about the best I can tell you without seeing the graph
How would you use a distance time graph to calculate the average speed of an object motion?
A distance-time graph is created by placing the distance on the vertical axis with the time placed on the horizontal axis. The values can then be plotted using distance traveled on different intervals.
Sketch a distance-time graph for a body starting from rest how will you determine the speed of a body from this graph?
It is not possible to sketch anything using this browser. The speed of a body cannot be determined from a distance-time graph. The slope of the graph is a measure of the radial velocity - that is the speed directly towards or directly away from the starting point. However, there is absolutely no information of any motion in a transverse direction. Since motion in this direction cannot be assumed to be 0, the distance-time graph cannot be used to determine speed.
What type of graph is used to show an objects motion?
line graph
What does a horizontal slope of a distance versus time graph indicate about an objects motion?
It is a measure of speed of the object, but only in the radial direction: that is, towards or away from the point from which distance is measured. The object could be going around that point in circular motion and the graph would show absolutely nothing.
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 speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
What does the distance versus time graph show you?
It usually shows the distance of an object from a fixed point over a time period. The distance is usually measured in one specific direction so that radial motion is ignored.
You can show the motion of an object on a line graph in which you plot distance against?
you can show motion by distance against time
What is the nature of distance time graph for uniform motion of an object?
the distance time graph will show a linear or a straight line
What is the slope that represents no motion in a distance time graph?
flat
What motion does a steep slope on a distance time graph show?
Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
On a distance time graph distance is usually what variable?
independent
How can graphs be used to represent motion?
You could try a speed-time graph, or a distance-time graph.
Can you calculate speed from a motion graph?
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
