Key fact The gradient of speed-time and velocity-time graphs represent acceleration. The area under a speed-time graph represents the distance travelled.
Question 1: Sketch a graph of velocity vs. time and another graph for position vs. time for this same trip. Be very careful. The common problem is to draw a velocity graph that LOOKS like the ...
The area under a curve can be estimated by dividing it into triangles, rectangles and trapeziums. If we have a speed-time or velocity-time graph, the distance travelled can be estimated by finding ...
Because the length of each segment is the distance travelled in one second, the heights of the bars form a bar graph of velocity vs. time. During each second the graph shows that the velocity ...
Let's start with the definition of velocity (in one dimension): But what if I represent this as a graph? Here is a velocity vs time graph for this same situation.
