Use the following graph of a car traveling on a straight northerly path to answer this question. At what time would the magnitude of the velocity reach 72 kmhr?

The magnitude of the velocity would reach 72 km/hr at around 5 seconds based on the graph shown. This is when the slope of the velocity-time graph is steepest, indicating the highest rate of change in velocity.


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.


How speed of zero would appear on a graph?

-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.


Velocity is the slope of the displacement vs time graph?

Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.


Does The slope of a position-time graph of an object gives the speed of the object?

No, the slope of a position-time graph represents the velocity of the object, which includes both speed and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and is not directly given by the slope of a position-time graph.

Is The slope on a position-time graph is representative of the acceleration of the object?

No. Slope of position/time graph is speed, or magnitude of velocity.Slope of speed/time graph is magnitude of acceleration.

Can you use a pie graph to show the votes from an election?

Of course you can use a pie graph to show the votes. Since the function of a pie graph is to show the distribution, however, you can only use it to represent how the votes were split rather than the magnitude of the votes. You can combine pie graphs to show total votes by having multiple pie graphs, with the size of the circle varying depending on the total votes tallied in a particular district or state and a key that shows how many votes a pie graph of a particular size represents.

What does a graph not do?

A graph does not cook your meals when you are hungry! A graph does not show causation.


What info does the slope of a lone indicate on a distance verses time graph?

On a distance/time graph, the slope of the line is the speed. (Magnitude of velocity.)
