One word answer: integrate. The area under the acceleration curve, up to time T, is the speed at time T. If you now make a curve of the speed as a function of time, and find the area under that up to time T, that will be the position at time T.

When you use a graph to solve a problem about how far a car traveled?

When you have information about the motion of the cars in terms of its velocity of acceleration over a period of time but not its distance from a fixed object.


How do you make a velocity vs time graph from an acceleration vs time graph?

Your acceleration vs. Time graph is the slope of your velocity vs. time graph


How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?

Acceleration=change in y graph/change in x graph


On speed-time graph the measures acceleration?

On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.


Is acceleration the slope of the velocitys vs the time graph?

Yes, acceleration is the slope of a velocity versus time graph.


How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?

A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.


How does a graph showing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?

Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.


Is The slope on a position-time graph is representative of the acceleration of the object?

No. Slope of position/time graph is speed, or magnitude of velocity.Slope of speed/time graph is magnitude of acceleration.


In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?

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.


What shows acceleration an a speed time graph?

The slope is the acceleration. Acceleration is the time derivative of velocity.


Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?

No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.


What does a tangent to a velocity-time graph measure?

It will measure acceleration in the direction towards or away from the origin.
