Question

What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a velocity vs. time graph is zero? Also, what type of motion is occurring when it's not zero

Answer 1

1. IF THERE IS SLOPE/diagonal line ON A VELOCITY vs. TIME graph it means it is accelerating, if it is at a straight horizontal line it is moving at a constant speed. If the horizontal line is at zero it means the object is not moving, if it is above the the zero mark then it is moving to the right, if it is below the zero mark its moving to the left.



2. There is no parabela (blahh cant spell that) and the line is horizontal, no curves. and as the x-axis increases so does the y-axiz but at a constant rate.


3. It means that its either slowing down or speeding up, or, if it isnt accelerating, then it either suddenly changes its speed say from 5m/s to 2m/s (but isnt slowing down to 2m/s)


4. for direction p vs. t = line is going UPto the right, walk s constant speed to the right, or when line is going down, walk to the left at a slower speed. ....for a basic parabela going up start out slow and walk to the right fasterand faster

for v vs t if slakfd;lhas blahh i th ink i already said something on this part im sorry but im too tired to finish the rest of this!!! blah! hope i helped a little! goodnight!
