An increase in speed or velocity.
Positive acceleration indicates an increase in speed in a straight line. This means the object is moving faster with time.
Acceleration is a vector quantity and can have positive, negative, or zero slope. A positive slope indicates an increase in speed, a negative slope indicates a decrease in speed, and a zero slope indicates constant velocity.
The rate at which speed changes with respect to time is called acceleration. It can refer to changes in linear speed (velocity) or angular speed. Positive acceleration indicates an increase in speed, while negative acceleration (deceleration) indicates a decrease in speed.
Acceleration.
Acceleration refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity over time. When an object accelerates, its motion changes either in speed, direction, or both. A positive acceleration indicates an increase in speed, while negative acceleration (deceleration) indicates a decrease in speed.
On a speed-time graph, acceleration is represented by the slope of the line. If the line is sloping upwards, it indicates a positive acceleration, meaning the speed is increasing. Conversely, a downward slope indicates negative acceleration (deceleration), where the speed is decreasing. A horizontal line indicates constant speed, with no acceleration.
The slope of a speed-time graph represents acceleration. It indicates how quickly an object’s speed is changing over time. A positive slope shows an increase in speed (acceleration), while a negative slope indicates a decrease in speed (deceleration). A slope of zero means the object is moving at a constant speed.
acceleration
The change of speed over time is known as acceleration. It is the rate at which an object's velocity (speed and direction) changes with time. Positive acceleration indicates speeding up, negative acceleration indicates slowing down, and zero acceleration indicates a constant velocity.
You can identify how quickly speed is changing by calculating acceleration, which is the rate of change of speed over time. Acceleration can be calculated using the formula: acceleration = (final speed - initial speed) / time. A positive acceleration indicates speeding up, while a negative acceleration indicates slowing down.
The slope of a speed-time graph represents the acceleration of the object. A positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, a negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction, and a zero slope indicates constant speed.
