It is a curve increasing in slope, upward to the right.

It may be straight or curved, but it rises.

Which two types of graphs can you use to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
A slanted line on a motion graph indicates what?
-- If you only know that the line is slanting rather than horizontal,but you don't know which way it slants, then you can only say thatthe speed (magnitude of velocity) is changing as time goes on.-- If the line slants down as it proceeds from left to right, thenthe speed is decreasing as time goes on.-- If the line slants up as it proceeds from left to right, thenthe speed is increasing as time goes on.
What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate about an object's motion?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.
If a line on a distance-time graph becomes steeper what has happened to the speed of the object?
It has increased.
The motion represented by a horizontal line on a distance time graph?
It represents that the object is remaining at a fixed distance. Typically that means it is not moving.Motion in a horizontal line by distance can be shown on a graph. This is what tells the Y-axis.
What is the shape of a displacement-time graph for an object that is constantly speeding up?
If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
For an object that is speeding up in the positive direction what does the displacement vs. time graph look like?
a graph curving upward
A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating.?
It means the object is decelerating - slowing down rather than speeding up. You can think of it as negative acceleration.
Can you tell from a displacemnt-time graph wheather an object is stationary?
Of course yes. An object is stationary when the graph is horizontal in a displacement-time graph.
Which two types of graphs can you use to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
If an object is accelerating what would the distance time graph look like?
curve
How can you tell if an object is accelerating in a distance versus time graph?
The slope of the line of a distance versus time graph is the velocity of the object. If this is a constant, in other words the graph is a straight line, the object is not changing its velocity and so is not accelerating. If the object is accelerating, the velocity of the object will be changing, thus the graph will not be a straight line, but a curve - the amount of curvature (and direction) tells you how much the object is accelerating (and in what direction - velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction).
What is a line sloping upwards on a speed time graph tell us?
The object is accelerating
How can you use graphs to calculate displacement of an object?
The answer will depend on what information is shown in the graph!
How do you convert displacement time graph into distance time graph?
Displacement is distance from starting point. If the object is always travelling in the same direction then they are the same. If the object turns round, the distance would still be increasing, however the displacement would be decreasing at the same rate.
Why is the line curved on a distance vs time graph?
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
What can you conclude about the state of motion of an object if displacement time graph is parallel to the time axis?
Said object is not moving
