velocity time graphs. Flashcards
1
Q
what does the gradient give us?
A
acceleration.
2
Q
what does it suggest if the gradient =0?
A
constant velocity.
3
Q
what does it suggest if the gradient is more than 0?
A
increasing velocity (accelerating.)
4
Q
what does it suggest if the gradient is less than 0?
A
decreasing velocity (deceleration.)
5
Q
how can acceleration be described?
A
rate of change of velocity.
m/s² or m/s/s
6
Q
what is the related formula?
A
acceleration = change in velocity/ time.
a= Δv/t
7
Q
what does the area under the time graph tell us?
A
displacement of an object.
