What else can I help you with?
Velocity is the slope of the acceleration vs time graph?
False
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.
Why does slope matter?
I am assume that you mean the slope of a graph. We find the local maximum and minimum of a graph by comparing the slope (the tangent to the curve) at each point. When the graph is reaching either a maximum or minimum, the slope becomes zero. This finding-the-zero-slope task is normally done with computer programming or Excel. Another use is that the change in slope indicates a change in the rate. Let us say we are plotting the water level in a river to see when the dam will be breached. If the slope keeps increasing, you can predict, at the present rate of change, when the water will overflow. If the slope of water keeps decreasing, you can predict, at the same rate, when do we run out of water. Using the slope for prediction needs to be done carefully -- how much do you trust the data and how long can you project into the future without being unrealistic. The chartists use the slope to predict the trend of stock prices. The government uses the slopes of different sets of data to plan policies. And so on. ==========================
A smooth line that reflects the general pattern in a graph?
The line that reflects the general pattern of a graph is called a trend line.
A straight line with no slope illustrates what type of motion?
down hill dog
What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate about the objects motion?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.
What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate an object's motion?
The slope of a speed vs time graph indicates an objects acceleration.
What does a change in the slope of a motion graph indicate?
A change in the slope of a location-time graph of an object indicates a change in the radial component of its speed.
What does the slope of a distance vs time graph indicate about an object's motion?
instantaneous velocity
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 does a horizontal slope of a distance versus time graph indicate about an objects motion?
It is a measure of speed of the object, but only in the radial direction: that is, towards or away from the point from which distance is measured. The object could be going around that point in circular motion and the graph would show absolutely nothing.
Is the steepness of a line on a motion graph is called a slope?
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
What can you calculate from velocity time graph?
From a velocity-time graph, you can calculate the acceleration by finding the slope of the graph at a certain point. The area under the graph represents the displacement of the object. You can also determine the direction of motion based on the slope of the graph (positive slope indicates motion in one direction, negative slope indicates motion in the opposite direction).
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is changing?
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
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
How would the graph change of the motion changed?
If the motion changes, the graph might show a different shape, slope, or position. For example, if the speed increases, the graph might show a steeper slope. If the direction of motion changes, the graph might show negative values or a curve. Any variation in the motion will be reflected in the graph.
What does the slope of a force versus time graph indicate?
The slope of a force vs. time graph is equal to the change in momentum or the Impulse.
