That the force that causes the acceleration is not constant.
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).
no because it is possible the object moving make go backwards so the the line will go into the negatives on the graph
A curved line represents changing speed - either acceleration or deceleration - while a straight line indicates that the speed is constant.
The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.
Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.
The acceleration vs. time graph would show how an object's acceleration changes over time. A horizontal line at zero acceleration would indicate constant velocity. A straight line with a positive or negative slope would represent constant acceleration. A curved line would indicate changing acceleration.
A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.
In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
If the graph of distance traveled vs. time is not a straight line, it indicates that the object's acceleration is not constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so a non-linear distance-time graph suggests that the object's velocity is changing at a non-constant rate, causing a curved graph.
The acceleration of the ball can be estimated by calculating the slope of the velocity versus time graph. If the graph is a straight line, the slope represents the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration. If the graph is curved, the instantaneous acceleration can be estimated by finding the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the curve.
Any curved line will indicate a change in acceleration. Straight lines with slope indicate a steady velocity and straight lines with zero slope indicate a lack of motion.If the X axis (left to right) is for time and the Y axis (up and down) is for speed, it would curve up.
The straight horizontal line on a graph is referred to as the x-axis. The vertical line on a graph is the y-axis.
Indirectly, yes. If the graph is a straight line there is no acceleration, if the graph is not linear there is acceleration.
The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.
On a distance-time graph, acceleration is represented by a curve that shows the slope increasing over time. If the graph is a straight line, it indicates constant speed, while a curved line indicates changing speed. The steeper the curve, the greater the acceleration; if the curve flattens, it suggests a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the graph shows a downward curve, it may indicate deceleration.
Ahorizontal line on a velocity vs time graph does not indicate any acceleration because there is no slope. Speed remains constant.
