The force-time graph of an accelerating object would typically show a non-zero, positive force applied over time. As the object accelerates, the force applied to it would increase proportionally until it reaches a constant force when the acceleration stops.
False. A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down, but it is still accelerating in the opposite direction.
The impulse on a force-time graph is equal to the change in momentum of an object.
A position vs. time graph shows how an object's position changes over time. It is used to represent the motion of an object by displaying the object's location at different points in time. The slope of the graph indicates the object's speed, and the shape of the graph can show if the object is moving at a constant speed, accelerating, or decelerating.
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
False. A negative slope on a velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is decelerating, not that it is not accelerating. Acceleration and deceleration are both forms of acceleration, but in opposite directions.
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
curve
The object is accelerating
The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.
The slope of the line of a distance versus time graph is the velocity of the object. If this is a constant, in other words the graph is a straight line, the object is not changing its velocity and so is not accelerating. If the object is accelerating, the velocity of the object will be changing, thus the graph will not be a straight line, but a curve - the amount of curvature (and direction) tells you how much the object is accelerating (and in what direction - velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction).
False. A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down, but it is still accelerating in the opposite direction.
The impulse on a force-time graph is equal to the change in momentum of an object.
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
A position vs. time graph shows how an object's position changes over time. It is used to represent the motion of an object by displaying the object's location at different points in time. The slope of the graph indicates the object's speed, and the shape of the graph can show if the object is moving at a constant speed, accelerating, or decelerating.
The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.
No. It always indicates that the object is not accelerating.
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
