What does slope of a speed time graph indicate?

it indicates the acceleration of the particle


What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate about the objects motion?

The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.


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.


Does the horizontal line on the velocity vs time graph indicate a constant and positive acceleration?

Ahorizontal line on a velocity vs time graph does not indicate any acceleration because there is no slope. Speed remains constant.


On speed-time graph the measures acceleration?

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


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?

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.


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.


If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

Constant speed ... zero acceleration.


What does the slope of an acceleration time graph indicate?

The rate at which acceleration is changing.


What is indicated on a speed graph?

Acceleration is indicated on a speed/time graph.


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.
