Analysing Graphs Flashcards
What is the equation of the gradient of the line in a distance time graph?
The height of the triangle
The gradient of the line= —————————
The base of the triangle
What happens when the velocity increases in a steady rate in a velocity-time graph?
The graph shows a straight line that has a constant gradient
What do you have to remember when you want to find acceleration from the graph?
That the gradient of the line on a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration.
What does the height of the triangle represent in a velocity-time graph?
The change of velocity.
What does the base of the triangle represent in a velocity-time graph?
It represents the time taken.
