Why does a curve on a distance-time graph indicate acceleration?

A curve on a distance-time graph indicates distance with respect to time.

For someone good in interpreting curves, the slope of distance/time at each point on the curve represents the velocity.

For someone still better in reading curves, the second derivative of the curve at any point indicates acceleration. Second derivative means the rate of variation of velocity with respect to time.

So the quick answer is a curve on a distance time graph does NOT directly indicate acceleration. See example in attached diagram. If you can "see" the constant acceleration indicated in the bottom (distance-time) graph, then yes, you can find acceleration from a distance-time graph. Otherwise, the answer is still no.

kaheart [24]

Answer;

A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

Explanation;

-Islands tend to host very distinct but limited sets or species; on a given island a spectacular collection of one related group of species would be present and thriving, but many entire families or even higher taxa would be completely absent.

-All the species on the islands and the nearest continent are closely related to one another, however, each species had a set of adaptations that suits it for a particular environment. This means that the island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

HELP QUICKLY Why are the deepest high tides so deep and the shallowest low tides so shallow? Hint: how are the Earth, Sun, and M

Vikki [24]

There are different kinds of tides. This change occur because when the gravitational pull of the sun works along with the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth, it leads to the oceans bulging out.

This result above makes the high tides as been little higher and low tides been little lower than normal.

Spring tides are known to be the deepest as oceans levels are highest in this kind of tide. The neap tides are known to be the shallowest.

This often occurs when the moon, earth, and sun are said to be at a right-angled plane. Therefore, the gravitation pull of the moon and sun on the oceans do counteract each other making its net effect is smaller.
