velocity/time graphs - Sp1 Flashcards
1
Q
what do flat sections represent
A
constant speed
2
Q
what does gradient equate to?
A
acceleration
3
Q
what happens as the graph gets steeper
A
the greater the acceleration or deceleration
4
Q
what are uphill sections
A
acceleration
5
Q
what are downhill sections
A
deceleration
6
Q
what does a curve mean
A
changing acceleration
7
Q
how to find distance?
A
find the section marked and create a shape using the slope line - work out it’s area by cutting it up
8
Q
how to calculate acceleration?
A
change in velocity marked / time taken
