What does speed-time graph represent?
It represents the speed of a moving object at any time covered by the graph.
What does straight line on a distance time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.
What does the slope of the graph indicate about the object's motion?
The answer will depend on whether the graph is a distance time graph or a speed time graph.The slope of a distance-time graph shows that speed of the object in the direction towards or away from the point of reference (usually the origin). It indicates absolutely nothing about its speed in any other direction. So, for example, an object could be rotating around the origin at the speed of light (the fastest possible) and the distance-time graph would show it being stationary bacause its distance from the origin is not changing!The slope of the speed-time graph indicated the acceleration of the object, again with the same qualification.
What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate an object's motion?
The slope of a speed vs time graph indicates an objects acceleration.
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
Does the speed of a position time graph of an object gives the speed of the object?
No, but the slope of the graph does.
What is the type of graph used to show the speed of an object?
speed graph
What does speed-time graph represent?
It represents the speed of a moving object at any time covered by the graph.
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.
What does a speed time graph show?
The acceleration of an object.
What does straight line on a distance time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.
What is a speed graph?
a speed graph shows us how the speed of a moving object changes with time
2 When you graph the motion of an object you put?
Time and Speed Time and Speed
How can you get the distance travelled by an object from its speed time graph?
multiply speed by time.
What does the gradient of a line on a distance-time graph tell us about an object?
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
Is distancetime a mathematical expression in average speed?
yes, if you mean that speed=distance divided by time, also known as distance/time
