Negative slope on a speed/time graph indicates decreasing speed.

(Some call it "deceleration", although I wish they wouldn't.)

Can the position - time graph have a negative slope?

Yes, a position-time graph can have a negative slope. This would indicate that the object is moving in the negative direction with respect to the chosen reference point.


Does a negative slope on a velocity vs time graph indicate that the object is not moving.?

No, a negative slope on a velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is moving in the negative direction. If the slope is constant, it means the object is moving at a constant speed in the negative direction.


What feature of a distance ortime graph represents speed?

slope of the graph ... actually the absolute value of the slope, actual slope, positive or negative, would indicate direction, so the slope would be velocity.


The slope of velocity time graph is changing what does it indicate?

A changing slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object's acceleration is changing. If the slope is increasing, the acceleration is positive, and if the slope is decreasing, the acceleration is negative. A flat slope indicates constant velocity.


What happends to the graph of a line when the slope is negative?

A straight line graph with negative slope slants downward from left to right.


When the points on a graph tend to go downward from left to right you say that they indicate?

A negative slope. a decrease, a fall, etc.


How does a speed vs. time graph indicate acceleration?

On a speed vs. time graph, acceleration is represented by a non-zero slope. If the slope of the graph is increasing, it indicates positive acceleration (speeding up). If the slope is decreasing, it indicates negative acceleration (slowing down).


What does the slope of a force versus time graph indicate?

The slope of a force vs. time graph is equal to the change in momentum or the Impulse.


What does the slope of a distanced-time graph indicate?

What is slope of velocity v time graph?

The slope of a velocity vs. time graph represents acceleration. A positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, a negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction, and a horizontal line indicates constant velocity.


What does the slope of a speed vs time graph indicate about the objects motion?

The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude (size) of the object's acceleration.


What does a change in the slope of a motion graph indicate?

A change in the slope of a location-time graph of an object indicates a change in the radial component of its speed.
