The direction of the slope (either positive or negative) tells you the direction of the acceleration.Fated said:What do you mean the value? The line's starting position is at 9seconds on the velocity of -1.0. It has a positive slope of 0.2 and stops at 12seconds at -0.4. So this line is under the 0 line. So if it is under the line, with a positive slope what does that mean?
Kinematics is the branch of physics that studies the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion. It focuses on describing the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object over time.
A graphical argument in kinematics is a method of analyzing motion by graphing the position, velocity, or acceleration of an object over time. It involves plotting data points on a graph and using the shape of the graph to understand the motion of the object.
Position is represented on a kinematics graph as the vertical axis, also known as the y-axis. The position of an object at a specific time can be determined by finding the data point on the y-axis that corresponds to that time.
A straight line on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant velocity. The slope of the line represents the velocity of the object. A steeper slope indicates a higher velocity, while a flatter slope indicates a lower velocity.
Acceleration can be determined from a kinematics graph by finding the slope of the line on a velocity-time graph or the second derivative of the position-time graph. The slope of the line represents the change in velocity over time, while the second derivative represents the change in acceleration over time.
