The Physical quantity that the slope of velocity time graph show is:

negative acceleration otherwise retardation.

If the velocity of the body is decreasing then the body is said to have negative acceleration (-ve) or retardation.

If the velocity is constant describe the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph.?

If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.


What does the slope of a curve represent on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?

The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)


Does the slope of a position time graph represent average velocity or rate of change of velocity?

The tangent at a point on the position-time graph represents the instantaneous velocity. 1. The tangent is the instantaneous slope. 2. Rather than "average" velocity, the slope gives you "instantaneous" velocity. The average of the instantaneous gives you average velocity.


What does the slope of the curve on a velocity time graph represent?

The rate of Change in acceleration.


What does the slope of distance-versus-time graph represent physically?

What does the slope of they curve on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?

The rate of change in accelleration.


What does slope of position time graph represents?

The slope of a position-time graph represents the velocity of an object. A steeper slope indicates a higher velocity, while a flatter slope indicates a lower velocity. Positive slopes represent motion in one direction, negative slopes represent motion in the opposite direction, and a horizontal line represents an object at rest.


What information can be learned from a position-time graph and from a speed-time graph?

A position time graph can show you velocity. As time changes, so does position, and the velocity of the object can be determined. For a speed time graph, you can derive acceleration. As time changes, so does velocity, and the acceleration of the object can be determined.If you are plotting velocity (speed) versus time, the slope is the acceleration.
