Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration vs Time graphs Flashcards
1
Q
In a displacement vs time graph, what is the gradient of the graph?
A
The velocity.
2
Q
In a velocity vs time graph, what is the gradient of the graph?
A
The acceleration.
3
Q
In a velocity vs time graph, what is the area under the graph?
A
The displacement.
4
Q
In an acceleration vs time graph, what is the area under the graph?
A
The velocity.
5
Q
How can you work out an object’s average velocity from a displacement vs time graph?
A
You find the total change in displacement and you divide it by the time taken.
6
Q
On a displacement vs time graph, how do you know if the object is accelerating.
A
The line will be curved.
7
Q
On a velocity vs time graph, how do you know if the object is accelerating.
A
The line will be sloped.
