What is the slope of a velocity vs temperature graph?
The slope of a temperature vs time graph shows the rate of change of temperature. The slope will be positive if the temperature is increasing with time and negative if it is decreasing.
If the velocity is constant describe th slope?
The slope of a time-distance chart would be a constant. The slope of a time-velocity chart would be 0.
What is the meaning of each of the following features of a velocity-time graph the slope of the line?
The slope of a line on a velocity-time graph is acceleration.
A slope of a position vs time graph is equal to?
ds/dt gives the velocity at that instant. So slope gives the velocity
What does the slope of distance versus time graph represent physically?
Tangent of the slope at any point = velocity
Why is slope important?
In a mathmatical sense, slope is important for finding velocity or a change in behavior of something. The slope correlates to a positive or negatve depending on the angle.
What is the slope of a velocity vs temperature graph?
The slope of a temperature vs time graph shows the rate of change of temperature. The slope will be positive if the temperature is increasing with time and negative if it is decreasing.
Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a very large velocity?
Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.
What is the slope of constant velocity?
The Slope (which represents acceleration) of a constant velocity graph is Zero.
How did changing the slope of the inclined plane change your velocity and acceleration values?
If no other external forces act (apart from weight), the acceleration on a fixed slope remains constant. This is because acceleration is given by: a=gsino where g is the acceleration of free fall and o is the angle between the slope and the horizontal.
How to measure the angle of incline of a slope?
The slope is the rise/run.And then angle of incline = arctan(slope).
How are velocity and accleration related?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If you know calculus, acceleration is the first derivative of velocity. If you don't know calculus, acceleration is the slope of the velocity curve or graph. All these definitions are equivalent.
Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
How does the change in angle changes the velocity?
Velocity is speed in a direction or speed at an angle. The velocity changes when the speed or angle changes.
How do you find the angle of a slope?
its the tangent of the angle the slope makes with the x-axis
If the velocity is constant describe th slope?
The slope of a time-distance chart would be a constant. The slope of a time-velocity chart would be 0.
