Explain the relationship between speed and steepness of the slope of the line on the distance-versus-time graph

Physics
1 answer:
balandron [24]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

A distance-versus-time graph gives the distance an object has traveled after a given time.

In a distance-versus-time graph the slope represents the the speed of the object because rise/run is

  \frac{\Delta distance }{\Delta time}=speed.

And how steep the slope of the distance-versus-time graph is tells us how fast an object is moving; steeper the slope greater the speed. For example, a graph with slope 10 represents a greater speed than a graph with slope 2.

So the steepness of the slope of the distance-versus-time is the speed of the object, and greater the slope greater is the speed.

It takes 6 seconds for a stone to fall to the bottom of a mine shaft. how deep is the shaft
Margaret [11]
You need the kinematic equation for distance as a function of acceleration:

d = [v(initial) *t] + 0.5a*t^{2}

where a = gravitational acceleration 9.8m/s^{2}
v(initial) = starting velocity
t = time of fall

if the stone started at rest then v(initial) = 0 making the equation simply 0.5a * t^{2}

Let me know if you still need further help :)
