Question 9. What do you mean by slope of a graph? What is its physical significance. pls answer guys pls.
Answers
The slope in Mathematics means the inclination of a line.
It can have a myriad of physical meanings. The slope of a ramp, for example, refers to its inclination or maybe the angle (or rather the tangent to the angle) made by the vector of the velocity of a particle
Answer:
The slope of a position vs. time graph reveals pertinent information about an object's velocity. For example, a small slope means a small velocity; a negative slope means a negative velocity; a constant slope (straight line) means a constant velocity; a changing slope (curved line) means a changing velocity. Thus the shape of the line on the graph (straight, curving, steeply sloped, mildly sloped, etc.) is descriptive of the object's motion. In this part of the lesson, we will examine how the actual slope value of any straight line on a graph is the velocity of the object.
