Displacement vs Time Graph Flashcards
1
Q
What does the gradient of the line mean?
A
The velocity
2
Q
If the velocity goes in the negative direction, what will be the gradient?
A
\
3
Q
If the velocity goes in the positive direction, what will be the gradient?
A
/
4
Q
How can you find the displacement of total trip?
A
Final point - intial point
it’s ok if it’s negative, just means it’s going back
5
Q
What if the line is straight?
A
no velocity, not moving
6
Q
What if the line is curving up or down?
A
Accelerating or deaccelerating
7
Q
How can you find the total distance?
A
Add the total values of each point
