Lesson 4 focuses on the use of velocity versus time graphs to describe motion. As we will learn, the specific features of the motion of objects are demonstrated by the shape and the slope of the lines …

In the same way that speed = distance divided by time, we can also look at acceleration as the change in speed over the time that the change occurred. Both of these quantities can be thought of as rates …

Ask students to use their knowledge of position graphs to construct velocity vs. time graphs. Alternatively, provide an example of a velocity vs. time graph and ask students what information can …

Calculate velocity and speed given initial position, initial time, final position, and final time. Derive a graph of velocity vs. time given a graph of position vs. time.

Since acceleration is a function of time, the speed time graph will be a curve. Note: Since the acceleration is continuously increasing with time, the magnitude of the slope will also continuously …

Adjust the Initial Position and the shape of the Velocity vs. Time graph by sliding the points up or down. Watch how the graphs of Position vs. Time and Acceleration vs. Time change as they adjust to …

Speed-Time and Velocity-Time graphs. This page demonstrates Speed-Time and Velocity-Time graphs, covering average acceleration and instantaneous acceleration. For A-Level Physics.
