D Vs T Graph
We can also draw this as a distance vs.
D vs t graph. On a d t graph the line curves upwards but not on a v t graph. Ask for v t graph and a t graph continue somewhere. On a d t graph the line curves upwards but not on a v t graph. Draw tangent find slope.
The importance of slope. Do first d t graph. On a v t graph the line is straight and has a positive slope. A straight sloped line on a v t graph means acceleration.
The shapes of the velocity vs. Area under v t graphs as discussed in the previous part of lesson 4 the shape of a velocity versus time graph reveals pertinent information about an object s acceleration. Time graph d t this results in a line of changing positive slope now lets look at these lessons from physicsclassroom. The principle is that the slope of the line on a velocity time graph reveals useful information about the acceleration of the object if the acceleration is zero then the slope is.
Slope δ y δx. Time graphs for these two basic types of motion constant velocity motion and accelerated motion i e changing velocity reveal an important principle. None just assignment or see paper copy of lesson 5 now lesson 3b nelson questions on motion graphs really pathetic how few questions. 360 to 510 seconds jump back to v t graph this is the section when you run faster and faster.

Finding the slope of curved graphs. On a v t graph the line is straight and has a positive slope. The slope of the line is equal to the acceleration. A positive slope is a positive acceleration and a negative slope is a negative acceleration.
How to convert velocity time graphs to position time graphs. The second thing to do is to look at the graph and to note the starting position and the end position of the graph. For example if the acceleration is zero then the velocity time graph is a horizontal line i e the slope is zero.
