Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
The slope of a line on a distance time graph is?
Equal to the acceleration of the object that is moving through distance in time. * * * * * No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed.
A straight line on a distance time graph represents what type of speed?
A straight line on a distance/time graph means that the speed is constant. In every unit of time the distance increases by the same amount.
What is the unit of a physical quantity which is represented by area under a velocity time graph?
the physical quantity is distance and unit is meters
Why does a curve on a distanced graph indicate acceleration?
an increasing distance is traveled during each unit of time
What is the unit for a time squared vs distance squared graph?
There's no such thing as "the unit" for a graph. Each axis has a unit, and you've stated both of them in your question: One axis is marked in units of (time)2, and the other is marked in units of (distance)2 . We fail to comprehend the physical significance or applicability of such a graph, but if it somehow suits your needs, then knock yourself out. We note that the slope of the graph works out to units of (speed)2 , so maybe it has something to do with kinetic energy perhaps ? ?
Does the speed-time graph show the distance covered by a body in unit time?
Not always. A proper speed-time graph will show the distance covered by a body in unit tme - which is how instantaneous speed is defined. The height of the graph at the point in time that is of interest, will give the distance covered in unit time - at that time. If the graph is not a straight line then the answer is given by the average value of the height of the graph over an interval going half-a-unit of time either side of the point of interest. However, speed-time graphs are often related to corresponding distance-time graphs. In such a case, the graph records the velocity of a body in the direction towards or away from the origin at various points in time. It takes no account whatsoever of any motion in a transverse direction. So the component of velocity in a transverse direction is lost. Thus, suppose O is the origin and I am at position P. If I move at right angles to OP, the speed-time graph will not show me moving at all.
Distance time graph?
distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.
If the slope of a line on a distance-time graph is 1 what is the speed of the object being plotted?
If the slope of a line on a distance-time graph is 1, it means that the speed of the object being plotted is 1 unit of distance traveled per unit of time elapsed. So, if the units are in, for example, meters and seconds, the speed would be 1 meter per second.
If the slope of a line on a distance and time graph is 1 the speed of the object being plotted is what?
It is 1 unit of distance per 1 unit of time.
What is the definition of scale on a graph?
A scale on a graph is what we use to measure the distance between the given coordinates. Here's an example: x=1 unit=1 cm y=1 unit=1 cm The units are the squares in the graph (represented on grids), which are, in the above example, 1 cm in length and width.
How is constant speed represented on a distance time motion graph?
On a distance-time graph, a constant speed is represented by a straight, diagonal line with a constant slope. This slope indicates that the object is covering the same distance for each unit of time, meaning its speed is consistent throughout the motion.
