Best Answer

slope of the graph ... actually the absolute value of the slope, actual slope, positive or negative, would indicate direction, so the slope would be velocity.

What feature of a distance per time graph represents speed?

The gradient (slope) of the tangent to the graph at the given time - provided that it exists. If the graph is a straight line at that point, it is the gradient of that line.


What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?

The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.


Why is the distance time graph a straight line for?

A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".

What does a curved line represent on a time vs distance graph?

The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.


Which of the following graphs best represents speed on a graph?

Distance and time


The slope of a line on a distance time graph represents?

The slope of a line on a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity. The steeper the line is and the greater the slope of the line is, the faster the object is moving.


What feature of a distance time graph represents the direction of motion?

the velocity and acceleration Not really. The direction is implied by the description of the distance axis, so as you go to the right on the graph it represents greater distance from the point which you have chosen to represent your point of reference. So you could define it for example as the distance east of your start point, or the distance north from your start point, or just the distance in any direction etc. If your description does not specify a direction, then all you can say is how far from the start you are, with no other information on compass direction etc.


On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?

no motion
