velocity time graphs Flashcards
on velocity time graphs on which axis is velocity and time
velocity is on the Y axis
Time is on the X axis
if an objects velocity is constant what will the line on the graph look like
the line would look horizontal
if the speed of the object increases with time what would the line look like
the line would be climbing vertically at a slant
if the speed of the object decreases with time what would the line look like
the line would be going down vertically at a slant
if the line is curved what does it mean
If the line is curved, it shows that the acceleration was not constant
if the line isn’t curved what does it mean
it means that the acceleration is constant
what is the equation for final velocity
Final Velocity* = initial velocity* + (2 x acceleration x Distance moved )
