Velocity-Time Graph Flashcards
What does a v-t graph tell, us?
How the velocity of a moving object changes with time.
What can also be derived from the v-t graph?
The acceleration of the object .
Line-Car at rest
Horizontal line at the lowest point.
Line-car moves with uniform velocity
Horizontal line at that specific velocity
Line-car moving with uniform acceleration
Straight line
Line-car moves with non-uniform acceleration
General increasing line
Line-car slowing down
General decreasing line
How can you find the displacement of an object if the velocity is known?
Through calculation and finding the area under the graph.
The slope of the velocity-time graph is a measure of the _____.
acceleration
The area under the velocity-time graph is a measure of the ______ for the relevant time interval.
displacement
