What does the slope of a speed vs time graph means
1 answer:
Answer:
speed = m/s on y axis
time = s on x axis
when you calculate the slope you do y2-y1/x2-x1 right?
m/s/s become , which is the unit of acceleration
On a speed vs time graph, if you see that the line is constant, then acceleration = 0 because there is no difference in speed, you are not acceleration or decelerating.
So in summary, it's acceleration
Hope that that answers your question

<h2><u>We have</u>,</h2>
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Time taken (t) = 2.9s
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = + 10 m/s² [Down]
- Final velocity (v)
- Height (h)
→ v = u + gt
→ v = 0 + 10(2.9)
→ v = 29 m/s … ( Ans )
And,
→ h = ut + ½gt²
→ h = 0(2.9) + ½ × 10 × (2.9)²
→ h = 5 × 8.41
→ h = 42.05 m … ( Ans )
