We'll generally see an object moving down a steeper slope gain speed more quickly than one moving down a more gradual incline. If you think about this, it makes sense, and it does so in this case because it is correct. A steeper slope makes for a faster acceleration.

Time in no way has an effect on speed.


What effect does time have on a speed of a moving object?

Time in no way has an effect on speed.


How can a force effect a moving object?

It can change its speed or direction.


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 effect do forces have on a moving object?

Balanced forces will not change the velocity - speed and direction - of a moving object. the object will continue to move in the same way.


How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represents its motion?

A straight slanted slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant acceleration.


What kind of line on a distance-versus-time graph indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed?

a straight line with a positive slope


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.


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.


How do you explain the effect of balanced forces on the state of motion of an object?

A balanced group of forces acting on the object has no effect on its motion. The object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.


Can a position time graph have negative slope?

yes, if the speed is negative, that is, moving backward


Which shape fits a distance vs time graph of an object moving at constant non-zero speed?

A straight line with a constant slope
