What else can I help you with?
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.
What info does the slope of a lone indicate on a distance verses time graph?
On a distance/time graph, the slope of the line is the speed. (Magnitude of velocity.)
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.
What does a change in the slope of a motion graph indicate?
A change in the slope of a location-time graph of an object indicates a change in the radial component of its speed.
What does a line with a negative slope indicate on a speed-time graph?
Negative slope on a speed/time graph indicates decreasing speed. (Some call it "deceleration", although I wish they wouldn't.)
How is speed and acceleration represented on a graph?
Speed is represented by the slope of a distance-time graph, where steeper slopes indicate faster speed. Acceleration is represented by the slope of a speed-time graph, where a steeper slope indicates a greater acceleration.
How does a speed vs. time graph indicate acceleration?
On a speed vs. time graph, acceleration is represented by a non-zero slope. If the slope of the graph is increasing, it indicates positive acceleration (speeding up). If the slope is decreasing, it indicates negative acceleration (slowing down).
What does a curved line pointing downward on a position versus time graph indicate?
That means the speed (the slope of the position-time graph) is decreasing.
Does the slope of the line on a speed time graph tells the speed?
No. The slope on a speed vs time graph tells the acceleration.
In a graph speed versus time what is the meaning of the slope?
The slope of the speed-vs-time graph is the magnitude of acceleration.
Does the speed of a position time graph of an object gives the speed of the object?
No, but the slope of the graph does.
