How to calculate distance from a velocity time graph?
You cannot since the graph shows displacement in the radial direction against time. Information on transverse displacement, and therefore transverse velocity, is not shown. For example, there is no difference in the graph of you're staying still and that of your running around in a circle whose centre is the origin of the graph. In both cases, your displacement from the origin does not change and so the graph is a horizontal line. In the first case the velocity is 0 and in the second it is a constantly changing vector. All that you can find is the component of the velocity in the radial direction and this is the slope of the graph at the point in question.
What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?
A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.
How is deceleration represented on a velocity per time graph?
It is radial the velocity in a direction towards or away from a fixed point of reference (the origin) at a given time. The velocity time graph takes no account of motion in a direction across the radial direction.
How do you make an acceleration time graph from the data of a velocity time graph?
To create an acceleration-time graph from a velocity-time graph, you need to find the slope of the velocity-time graph at each point. The slope represents the acceleration at that specific instant. Plot these acceleration values against time to get the acceleration-time graph.
How do you go from a position graph to a velocity graph?
you can't....it's merely impossible! Assuming it is a graph of velocity vs time, it's not impossible, it's simple. Average velocity is total distance divided by total time. The total time is the difference between finish and start times, and the distance is the area under the graph between the graph and the time axis.

What information does the slope of the line in distance-time graph give?
It gives the velocity of the object in the radial direction. The graph gives no information whtsoever about motion in a transverse direction.
How can you obtain the average velocity and instantaneous velocity from a displacement time graph?
You cannot because a dispacement-time graph is concerned only with motion in a radial direction; any motion in a transverse direction is completely ignored. For example, an object circling the origin at a fixed distance, even with a variable speed, is always at the same distance from the origin. So the displacement-time graph will be a straight line whose height is the radial distance. A straight line in the distance-time graph is to be interpreted as no motion! Really?!The average velocity in the radial direction is the final displacement minus the starting [initial] displacement, all divided by the difference in time between the two points. The instantaneous velocity in the radial direction is the slope [gradient] of the graph at the point in question.
What are the advantages of velocity time graph?
Normally a position-time graph is actually a distance-time graph where the distance of an object is measured from a fixed point called the origin. The slope (gradient) of the graph is the radial velocity - or the component of the velocity in the radial direction - of the object. That is, the component of the object's velocity in the direction towards or away from the origin. Such a graph cannot be used to measure the component of the velocity at right angles to the radial direction. In particular, an object going around in a circle would appear t have no velocity since its distance from the origin remains constant.
What variable does slope represent in a velocity vs time graph?
The Physical quantity that the slope of velocity time graph show is:negative acceleration otherwise retardation.If the velocity of the body is decreasing then the body is said to have negative acceleration (-ve) or retardation.u>v
What does the slope on a distance-time motion graph indicate?
It shows the component of velocity in a radial direction. Any motion in a transverse direction is ignored.
What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?
A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.
Which physical quantity is calculated by the slope of distance time graph?
The radial velocity ie velocity towards or away from your starting point. It is NOT the ordinary speed or velocity because you can run in a circle around your starting point at top speed but the distance will not change so the slope of the distance time graph will be zero.
How is deceleration represented on a velocity per time graph?
It is radial the velocity in a direction towards or away from a fixed point of reference (the origin) at a given time. The velocity time graph takes no account of motion in a direction across the radial direction.
What is a horizontal line on a speed time graph?
It indicates that the object in question is moving at a constant velocity in the radial direction. It gives no information about motion in the transverse direction.
How can you obtain the average velocity and instantaneous velocity from a displacement - time graph?
You cannot because a displacement-time graph is concerned only with radial motion: displacement from a fixed point of reference. Any transverse motion is completely ignored. Thus, if you had a body going around in a circle about the point of reference, its speed would be recorded zero!
What is a velocity time graph in detail?
A velocity time graph is still a velocity time graph - no matter the degree of detail that you look at it.
