What does a slope of a velocity-time graph indicate?
Think about how speed changes!
On a velocity-time graph, what does a horizontal line mean?
Remember: no change in speed means what on the graph?
What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?
Think of what 'change' means in physics.
True or False: The area under a velocity-time graph represents the time taken for motion.
Remember what area quantifies in those graphs.
A cyclist's velocity changes from 5 m/s to 15 m/s over 10 seconds. Create a velocity-time graph for this motion. What is the slope and what does it represent?
Calculate the change in velocity and divide it by time.
If a velocity-time graph shows a decrease in velocity from 10 m/s to 0 m/s over 5 seconds and then levels at 0, what can you infer about the object’s motion in terms of displacement and direction?
Consider how changes in direction can affect reading displacement.
