The slope of velocity versus time graph gives?

If your graph shows velocity on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, then the slope of the graph represents the acceleration. More specifically, the slope of the graph at a specific point represents the acceleration at that instantaneous point in time. So if the slope of the graph doesn't change (i.e. the graph is a straight line), then the acceleration is constant and doesn't change over time. In calculus, this is represented as the derivative: The derivative of velocity with respect to time equals the acceleration.


What does the slope of the distance time graph give?

The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a flatter slope indicates a lower speed.


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.


What does the slope of a distnace-time graph give you?

It gives you the speed. (not the velocity)


If you have a motion graph for an object that shows distance and time. how does the slope of the graph relate to the object's speed?

The slope of the motion graph represents the object's speed. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed, while a shallower slope indicates a slower speed. Specifically, the slope is calculated as the change in distance divided by the change in time, which gives you the speed of the object at any given point on the graph.

How would one determine Acceleration from a V-t Graph?

Acceleration can be determined from a velocity-time graph by calculating the slope of the line on the graph. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration. If the graph is curved, acceleration can be calculated by finding the tangent to the curve at a specific point.

What does the slope of a time vs distance graph equal?

The slope of a time vs distance graph represents the speed or velocity of an object. It is calculated as the change in distance divided by the change in time. A steeper slope indicates a greater speed.

What information does the slope of the line in distance-time graph give?

It gives the velocity of the object in the radial direction. The graph gives no information whtsoever about motion in a transverse direction.


Does the slope of a position time graph represent average velocity or rate of change of velocity?

The tangent at a point on the position-time graph represents the instantaneous velocity. 1. The tangent is the instantaneous slope. 2. Rather than "average" velocity, the slope gives you "instantaneous" velocity. The average of the instantaneous gives you average velocity.
