How speed of zero would appear on a graph?

-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.


Velocity is the slope of the displacement vs time graph?

Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.


What does slope of speed time graph indicates?

The slope of the graph of speed vs time at each point isthe magnitude of the acceleration at that point in time.


Suppose you plot the distance traveled by an object at various times and you discover that the graph is not a straight line what does this indicate about the object acceleration?

It means that the object was accelerating or decelerating at least part of the time.


Plot the graph to show ball thrown vertically upward and comes downward ignoring air resistence?

If you want the graph to show the acceleration of the ball against time, then the graph is a horizontal line. If you want the graph to show the velocity of the ball against time, then the graph is a straight line sloping downward. If you want the graph to show the height of the ball against time, then the graph is a parabola that opens downward.

What does the slope of a distance versus-time graph show about the motion of an object?

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.

Can you use a pie graph to show the votes from an election?

Of course you can use a pie graph to show the votes. Since the function of a pie graph is to show the distribution, however, you can only use it to represent how the votes were split rather than the magnitude of the votes. You can combine pie graphs to show total votes by having multiple pie graphs, with the size of the circle varying depending on the total votes tallied in a particular district or state and a key that shows how many votes a pie graph of a particular size represents.
