Which two types of graphs can you use to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
On the distance vs time graph time is represented on the x-axis as the?
Time is on the x-axis as it is the independent variable. The distance is the dependent variable as the distance travelled depends on how long the journey has been going. :)
Graphs of uniform velocity?
Yes, there are velocity graphs, (velocity being on the y axis and time being on the x axis). However, these graphs are not to be mixed up with position verses time graphs. On a velocity verses time graph, (the units for velocity being m/s), an object at rest is plotted as a straight line along the horizontal axis. This shows that time is progressing, but there is no motion of the objest. Uniform motion is also plotted as a straight line, but must be placed someplace above the horizontal axis. Acceleration and decceleration on a velocity vs time graph are represented by diagonal lines unlike the curved lines on a position verses time graph
What does the slope of a line on a distance-versus-time graph show?
It shows the speed of an object in a direction towards or away from the reference point. This is not the speed of the object because any motion in a transverse direction is ignored. For example, even if a racing car is going at top speed around the reference point on a circular track, the distance v time graph will be a horizontal line. The slope will be zero.
The horizontal axis of a graph runs?
Horizontally.
When you graph the motion of an object you put what on the horizontal and the what on the vertical axis?
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
How do you know there is no motion on a distance time-graph?
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
When you graph the motion of an object you put on the horizontal axis and on the vertical axis speed time?
time, distance
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.
On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?
A horizontal line on a distance versus time graph indicates that the object is not moving. The slope of the line would be zero, meaning there is no change in distance over time.
Does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is moving at a constant speed?
You cannot. A distance vs time graph only measures radial distance - that is, distance from the origin to the object. If the object is going around the origin along a circular path, the distance vs time graph will not show any change in distance.The [incorrect] answer that you are required to give is that the graph will be a horizontal line during that period. But as explained above, the horizontal graph only means the object has no movement towards or away from the origin, not that it has no movement.
What represents a stationary object on a distance time graph?
A stationary object on a distance-time graph will be represented by a horizontal line. This indicates that the object is not changing its position over time and remains at a constant distance from a reference point.
What does a horizontal slope for a distance-versus-time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A horizontal slope on a distance-versus-time graph indicates that the object is at rest, meaning it is not changing its position over time. The distance remains constant while time progresses, reflecting no motion. This signifies that the object has zero velocity during that period.
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal what does that say about the motion of the object?
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal, it indicates that the object is not changing its position over time. In other words, the object is at rest and not moving.
What is represented by a single point on a curve line graph in a distance time graph showing accelerated motion?
A bobsled's distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 100 m in 25 s. What is the bobsled's speed
How can you find the direction of motion from a distance x axis and time y axis graph?
To find the direction of motion from a distance x axis and time y axis graph, look at the slope of the graph. A positive slope indicates motion in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates motion in the negative direction. A horizontal line indicates stationary motion.
What is a graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called?
distance-time graph
