uniformly accelerated motion
Uniformly accelerated
It represents the velocity of the object.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The Slope (which represents acceleration) of a constant velocity graph is Zero.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
That slope is the 'speed' of the motion. If the slope is changing, then the speed is changing. That's 'accelerated' motion. (It doesn't matter whether the speed is growing or shrinking. It's still 'accelerated' motion. 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.)
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
Velocity change vs Time
A slanting line down from left to right represents an acceleration on the velocity time graph.
instantaneous acceleration* * * * *No it does not.The graph is a distance-time graph so the coordinates of a point on the graph represent the position (distance) at the specified time. The gradient of the tangent to the curve at that point represents the instantaneous radial velocity. The second derivative at that point, if it exists, would represent the acceleration.
