In speed-versus-time graph a straight line shows that acceleration is?
Constant.
Does the slope of a speed-versus-time graph represents acceleration?
No, the slope of a speed-versus-time graph represents the rate of change of speed, not acceleration. Acceleration is represented by the slope of a velocity-versus-time graph.
What is the example where acceleration is either uniform or non uniform?
If the graph of speed versus time is a straight line, then the acceleration is constant/uniform. If the graph is curved or has a sharp corner, the acceleration is non-uniform, i.e. not constant. A uniform acceleration means the speed changes by fixed amount every unit of time, e.g. +3 m/s every second.
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position versus time graph is constant?
The slope of [distance vs. time] is [speed]. If the slope is constant, then the speed is constant,meaning the magnitude of acceleration is zero.(The direction of velocity might still be changing though, which wouldn't show up on the graph.)
What type of graph is used for acceleration?
A velocity-time graph is commonly used to represent acceleration. The slope of the graph at any point represents the acceleration at that specific moment. A steeper slope indicates a greater acceleration.
When is the shape of an position versus time graph parabolic?
If a position versus time graph is parabolic, then:Speed versus time is a straight line.Acceleration (magnitude) vs time is a horizontal line, so the acceleration is constant.The graph of height/time for a stone or a baseballtossed upward is an inverted parabola.
What shape do you expect for a graph showing the position of a motorcycle versus time if the motorcycle is speeding up with a constant acceleration?
The position versus time graph is parabolic.
In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?
A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.
In speed-versus-time graph a straight line shows that acceleration is?
Constant.
How does the speed versus time graph look for an object with constant acceleration?
A straight line.
How does a graph showing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?
Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a line is not zero?
Assuming the graph is for displacement versus time, the motion should be constant velocity. If velocity versus time motion is constant acceleration
Why is the slope of the force versus acceleration plot equal to the object's mass?
The slope of the force versus acceleration plot is equal to the object's mass because acceleration is directly proportional to force when mass is constant (F = ma). Therefore, the slope represents the ratio of force applied to the resulting acceleration, which is mass in this case.
What does a curved line on a distance versus time graph tell you?
It tells you that the velocity of the body is not constant. There is acceleration or deceleration.
Does the slope of a speed-versus-time graph represents acceleration?
No, the slope of a speed-versus-time graph represents the rate of change of speed, not acceleration. Acceleration is represented by the slope of a velocity-versus-time graph.
What is a position versus time-squared graph?
If you have an object that is accelerating, then a position vs. time graph will give you a parabola which is pretty but is very hard to measure anything on - especially hard to measure the acceleration (or the curve of the line). If however, you graph position vs. time squared, you get a nice straight line (if you have constant acceleration) and therefore, you can measure the slope and get the acceleration. Remember: x = 1/2at2 so if you graph x vs. t2 then the slope = 1/2 a or a = 2*slope No matter what you are measuring, you always want to graph a straight line. hope that helps
On a V-t graph how does constant acceleration appear?
On a graph of speed versus time, where time is plotted along the horizontal (X) axis and speed along the vertical (Y) axis: -- constant speed (zero acceleration) produces a straight, horizontal line; -- constant acceleration produces a straight, sloped line; the slope of the line is equal to the acceleration; -- if the acceleration is positive, the line slopes up to the right (speed increases as time increases); -- if the acceleration is negative, the line slopes down to the right (speed decreases as time increases).
