How is acceleration obtained from a velocity line graph?

Acceleration can be obtained from a velocity line graph by calculating the slope of the line at a particular point. The slope of the line represents the rate of change of velocity, which is the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration.


If the velocity is constant describe the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph.?

If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.


What is the name of the line that would show constant speed on a V-T graph?

A horizontal line on a velocity-time (V-T) graph would show constant speed. This is because the slope of a V-T graph represents acceleration, and a horizontal line means zero acceleration, indicating constant speed.


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.


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.
