It depends on whether it is a positive slope or a negative slope. If the velocity increases as time goes on, yes the particle is accelerating. If the velocity decreases as time goes on, it is decelerating.

False. The displacement vs time of an object going around in a circle around the point of reference, at high speed, will be a horizontal line - it will have zero gradient.

Velocity is the slope of a displacement vs time graph true or false?

False. The slope of a velocity vs time graph is acceleration


Is displacement the slope of the velocity vs time graph?

False


Is it true or false that Displacement is the slope of the velocity vs time graph?

It is false.


Is velocity the slope of the displacement vs time graph true or false?

that is true


Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a very large velocity?

Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.


The slope of a displacement-time graph is?

The slope at each point of a displacement/time graph is the speed at that instant of time. (Not velocity.)


Is the displacement time graph of a body moving with uniform velocity always a straight line?

A displacement vs. time graph of a body moving with uniform (constant) velocity will always be a line of which the slope will be the value of velocity. This is true because velocity is the derivative (or slope at any time t) of the displacement graph, and if the slope is always constant, then the displacement will change at a constant rate.


Is velocity the slope of the displacement vs time graph?

Velocity=m m=rise/run


Is velocity the slope of the displacement vs. time graph?

Velocity=m m=rise/run


Is it true or false that on a position time graph the average velocity is not equal to the slope of the line?

It is false. The slope of a straight line on a position-time graph is the average velocity. Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1. On a position-time graph, y is the position (d), and x is the time (t). So y2-y1 = df-di = displacement, and x2-x1 = tf-ti = time interval. Average velocity = displacement/time interval = df-di/tf-ti


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.


What does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?

The slope of the function on a displacement vs. time graph is (change in displacement) divided by (change in time) which is just the definition of speed. A relatively steep slope indicates a relatively high speed.
