Acceleration And Velocity Time Graphs Flashcards
1
Q
Acceleration is
A
How quickly velocity is changing
2
Q
Acceleration is not the same as
A
Velocity or speed
3
Q
Change is velocity can be either
A
Change in speed or change in direction
Or both
4
Q
Acceleration =
A
Time taken
A x T
5
Q
Acceleration is the change in
A
Velocity per second
M/s
6
Q
Gradient =
A
Acceleration
7
Q
Flat sections represent
A
Steady speed
8
Q
The steeper the graph
A
Greater the acceleration or deceleration
9
Q
Uphill sections are
A
Acceleration
10
Q
Downhill sections are
A
Deceleration
11
Q
Area under any section of the graph is
A
Equal to the distance traveled in that time interval
12
Q
A curve means
A
Change in acceleration
13
Q
Calculating acceleration, velocity and distance is
A
Acceleration = gradient = vertical change over horizontal change
