What does the slope of the distance time graph give?

speed


How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?

Slope of the graph will give you speed.


What information does the slope on a distance time graph give?

Speed


Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?

if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.


Does the slope of a distance-graph give average speed?

A graph requires two numerical variables before it can have a meaningful slope. A distance-graph has only one variable so it does ot have a slope in any meaningful way. For eaxmple, you could have a graph showing the distances of varoius places from, say London.


What is a slope when dealing with graph?

The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.


What does a slope of a time graph represent?

The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.


What is the slope of a line on distance time graph?

acceleration


What is slope of velocity v time graph?

the slope at any point on the graph is the acceleration


Why do you need slope?

Slopes give you the rate of change. On a distance vs. time graph the rate of change (i.e. the slope) is the velocity. On a Velovity vs. Time graph the rate of change is the acceleration. etc.


Is the steepness of a line on a motion graph is called a slope?

"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.


What does slope of a speed time graph represent?

The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
