What else can I help you with?
A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not moving.?
False. It means it is slowing Down!
What does it mean when velocity is negative?
When velocity is negative, it means that the object is moving in the opposite direction of its positive velocity.
What does it mean if velocity is negative in a physical context?
In a physical context, a negative velocity indicates that an object is moving in the opposite direction of its positive velocity.
What does a negative slope on an acceleration vs time graph mean?
No. A negative slope means that the object is slowing down. If the object were not moving, then its velocity would be zero. The graph would be a straight horizontal line that just lays there on the time axis.
What line segments on a velocity versus time graph is physically impossible?
A vertical line segment on a velocity versus time graph represents an instantaneous change in velocity, which is physically impossible. It would mean that an object goes from one velocity to another instantly, without any acceleration. In reality, objects need time to change their velocity due to the presence of acceleration or deceleration.
A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not moving.?
False. It means it is slowing Down!
In a position vs time graph what does it mean if the position is a negative number?
If acceleration is negative the graph looks like a upside U and decreases in value as time continues If acceleration is constant the graph is a straight line (linear) at 0 or whatever the velocity is
If a line is decreasing on a velocity v time graph what does it mean?
That an object is losing speed. It is experiencing negative acceleration.
How Can you tell from a velocity-time graph that the velocity is constant?
velocity is nothing but speed of a body in the given direction. suppose if body is moving with constant velocity then VT graph will be parallel to the X -axis, if not then the VT graph is not parallel to the X-axis it means then object is moving with different velocity or it has its dierection or both velocity and aswell as direction.
What does it mean when velocity is negative?
When velocity is negative, it means that the object is moving in the opposite direction of its positive velocity.
What does position time graph mean in science?
velocity
What does the diagonal slope of a velocity vs time graph mean?
Acceleration , which is change of velocity over time.
What does it mean if velocity is negative in a physical context?
In a physical context, a negative velocity indicates that an object is moving in the opposite direction of its positive velocity.
What does a negative slope on an acceleration vs time graph mean?
No. A negative slope means that the object is slowing down. If the object were not moving, then its velocity would be zero. The graph would be a straight horizontal line that just lays there on the time axis.
What do slopes of straight lines on a position vs time graph mean?
The slope of a straight line on a position vs. time graph represents the object's velocity. A steeper slope indicates a faster velocity, while a shallower slope indicates a slower velocity. The slope can be positive for motion in the positive direction and negative for motion in the negative direction.
What does it mean if a line is flat on a distance-time graph?
Time is plotted on the X-axis. Speed or velocity is plotted on the Y-axis. A straight horizontal line on a speed-time graph means that speed is constant. It is not changing over time. A straight line does not mean that the object is not moving!
When velocity is changing what is happening to the slope on a position versus time graph?
That slope is the 'speed' of the motion. If the slope is changing, then the speed is changing. That's 'accelerated' motion. (It doesn't matter whether the speed is growing or shrinking. It's still 'accelerated' motion. 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.)
