Understanding how to calculate displacement from a velocity-time graph is an essential skill in physics. By following these steps, you’ll be able to determine the displacement of an object by simply ...

Remember, acceleration is the same as gradient, and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. Look at the graph. The acceleration of the vehicle in the first 10 seconds is: ...

Speed-time and velocity-time graphs - Higher Speed-time graphs show speed on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The gradient of a speed-time graph represents acceleration because: ...

Graphs and Tracks by David Trowbridge is based upon research and curriculum development by the Physics Education Group at the University of Washington, and educational software design at the ...
