Depends on the units used (say metres and seconds)

Speed = distance / time

if the x axis = time, and the y axis = distance

Then , speed = y / x (slope of the graph at any point)

If then y / x = 1, then speed = 1 metre per second

Graphs of uniform velocity?

Yes, there are velocity graphs, (velocity being on the y axis and time being on the x axis). However, these graphs are not to be mixed up with position verses time graphs. On a velocity verses time graph, (the units for velocity being m/s), an object at rest is plotted as a straight line along the horizontal axis. This shows that time is progressing, but there is no motion of the objest. Uniform motion is also plotted as a straight line, but must be placed someplace above the horizontal axis. Acceleration and decceleration on a velocity vs time graph are represented by diagonal lines unlike the curved lines on a position verses time graph


What does it mean if a line is flat on a distance-time graph?

Time is plotted on the X-axis. Speed or velocity is plotted on the Y-axis. A straight horizontal line on a speed-time graph means that speed is constant. It is not changing over time. A straight line does not mean that the object is not moving!


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.


Manipulated variable is also known as?

The manipulated variable is your independent variable. This gets plotted along the x-axis on a graph, and your dependent variable gets plotted along the y axis. Example- think of a velocity-time graph (physics), or a dose-response graph (pharmacology). The variable you are able to control (like time or dose) is your manipulated variable, and the variable whose value is contingent on how you manipulate the first is your dependent variable (drug response etc.)


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.
