That depends on what quantity is graphed.

It also depends on what kind of acceleration is taking place ...
continuous change of speed or continuous change of direction.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed, then the graph is a connected series of straight-line pieces. 
Each straight piece slopes up if speed is increasing, or down if speed
is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change in
direction only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since speed is
constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since direction
is constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction, then the graph is a connected series of pieces of line. 
Each piece may be straight if the direction is changing at a constant rate,
or curved if the direction is changing at a rate which grows or shrinks. 
Each piece may slope up if the angle that defines the direction is growing,
or may slope down if the angle that defines the direction is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a
change in speed, then the graph is a connected series of pieces
of curves.  Each piece curves up if speed is increasing, or down if
speed is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction only, then the graph is a straight line sloping up, since speed
is constant.

A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s along a straight line from point A to point B and then back along the line
Sav [38]

Answer:

4.25 m/s

Explanation:

They walked the first distance at 5.50 m/s, then the same distance at 3 m/s.

Since the distances are equal, the average speed is simply the average of 5.50 and 3.

(5.50 + 3) / 2 = 4.25

Her average speed over the entire trip is 4.25 m/s.

Help with question 16 and 17
storchak [24]
<h3>16.</h3>

Your answer is correct.

___

<h3>17.</h3>

The fractional change in resistance is equal to the given temperature coefficient multiplied by the change in temperature.

  R = R₀×(1 + α×ΔT)

  R = (10.0 Ω)×(1 + 0.004×(65 -20)) = 11.8 Ω
