Graphing Motion
What is Displacement-Time graph?
When you draw a graph of distance against time like the image above it is called a Displacement-Time graph.
What can we know using a displacement-time graph?
- Displacement - At any point of time.
- Velocity - The gradient (slope) of the line or how steep the graph is.
What is Velocity-Time graph?
When you draw a graph of velocity against time like the image above it is called a Velocity-Time graph or a v-t graph.
What can we know using a v-t graph?
- Displacement - The area under the graph.
- Instantaneous velocity - It is the velocity at any particular point of time.
- Acceleration - The gradient (slope) of the line or how steep the graph is.
What is Acceleration-Time graph?
When you draw a graph of accelation against time like the image above it is called a Acceleration-Time graph.
