How do you use gradual in a sentence?
At the start of the hill the slope was very gradual but it quickly got steeper.
Why does slope matter?
I am assume that you mean the slope of a graph. We find the local maximum and minimum of a graph by comparing the slope (the tangent to the curve) at each point. When the graph is reaching either a maximum or minimum, the slope becomes zero. This finding-the-zero-slope task is normally done with computer programming or Excel. Another use is that the change in slope indicates a change in the rate. Let us say we are plotting the water level in a river to see when the dam will be breached. If the slope keeps increasing, you can predict, at the present rate of change, when the water will overflow. If the slope of water keeps decreasing, you can predict, at the same rate, when do we run out of water. Using the slope for prediction needs to be done carefully -- how much do you trust the data and how long can you project into the future without being unrealistic. The chartists use the slope to predict the trend of stock prices. The government uses the slopes of different sets of data to plan policies. And so on. ==========================
If a line on a distance-time graph becomes steeper what has happened to the speed of the object?
It has increased.
What is the number of forces acting on an object sliding down an incline?
two, one is the resultant weight on the slope and = cosine (slope angle) * mass two is the force on the object and acts parralel to the the slope and = sin (slope angle) * mass
What is the difference between the continental slope and the continental rise?
The continental shelf starts from the shore to a few miles out with less gradient of slope. The continental slope starts after shelf-break with a higher slope gradient, then follows the continental rise and abyssal-plain.
Which is steeper...a slope of -1 or a slope of -3?
A slope of -3 is steeper.
Steeper lines have a what slope than that of flatter lines?
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines
What does It mean when a contour line is closer to another?
It means the slope is steeper
What is the steeper slope 30 percent or 15 percent?
30% is steeper than 15% slope.
What is a flatter slope?
flatter slope is the slope that is near y-axis. Low slope = flatter steeper slope is the slope that near x-axis. High slope = steeper source: my super braaiiin
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
How does a graph line with a steeper slope compared to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How does a line graph with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How does a graph line with steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
What is a steeper slope?
In algebra, as in the physical world, steeper means closer to vertical.
How does a line graph line with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
Steeper lines have a?
larger slope if positive and a smaller slope if negative
