The question is poorly put. Perhaps your underlying concern is best addressed by explaining what 'speed' really means. 'Speed', by definition, is the absolute value of the velocity vector. The velocity is in turn the derivative of the vector (function) describing the object's position as a function of time.

This is why we can have a constant speed even when the velocity is always changing, as happens with circular motion with the velocity always directed towards the center of the circle.

So if the speed is non-zero, then there must be some motion. Is that what you mean by "show 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.


Does motion create speed?

Motion and speed are synonymous terms, with just a slight difference of emphasis. Speed suggests fast motion. Other than that, they are the same thing. Speed is a form of motion, so in that sense, motion does crreate speed. Obviously, an object that is not moving has a speed of zero.


What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?

Motion can be classified into four types based on changes in direction and speed: Rectilinear motion: Motion along a straight line with constant speed. Uniform circular motion: Motion in a circular path at a constant speed. Accelerated motion: Motion with a change in speed but moving in a straight line. Curvilinear motion: Motion with changes in both speed and direction, following a curved path.


What is the speed of particles motion known as?

The speed of particle motion is known as velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed and direction of an object's motion.


Does motion affect the speed of an object?

Short answer: yes. An object in "motion" has a "speed" simply by virtue of its being in motion. An object possessing a speed is inherently in motion. In this sense they have similar meanings. Speed is a rate of change in position. Motion is a change in position (in progress). In this sense, speed is more specific than motion in that speed has a quantitative value. Conversely, there can be no "speed" without "motion". To be complete, "velocity" is even more specific than speed in that it contains a rate of change in position together with a direction. That is, speed is a "scalar" quantity, and "velocity" is a vector quantity.

How do you use a graph to show someone's motion?

By using the distance, speed, and acceleration, to show on the graph the constant speed of each car


What does a speed-time graph show about motion?

For each moment in time, it usually shows the radial component of the speed of the object. That is, the speed towards or away from the origin or point of reference. It does not show any information about motion across this direction.

How is motion and speed related?

speed is a measure of the rate of motion.


Does motion occur when there is a change in speed?

Motion occurs when there is speed. A change of speed is not required.

What is speed of motion?

The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.

What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?

What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).
