How to calculate slope for uniform motion in distance time graph ?
Answers
Explanation:
The slope of the line on a position versus time graph is equal to the velocity of the object. If the object is moving with a velocity of +4 m/s, then the slope of the line will be +4 m/s. If the object is moving with a velocity of -8 m/s, then the slope of the line will be -8 m/s. If the object has a velocity of 0 m/s, then the slope of the line will be 0 m/s. The slope of the line on a position versus time graph tells it all. Because of its importance, a student of physics must have a good understanding of how to calculate the slope of a line. In this part of the lesson, the method for determining the slope of a line on a position-time graph will be discussed.

1)Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates.
2)Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise).
3)Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run).
4)Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).
