Physics lecture position time graph and velocity time graph

What does a constant velocity indicate about a position-time graph?

It indicates that the graph will be a straight line.

What is the relationship between position-time graphs and velocity-time graphs?

The slope of the position-time graph represents the velocity-time graph.

How is acceleration defined in relation to velocity and time?

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the change in time.

What does the equation position = velocity x time + initial position represent?

It represents the relationship between position, velocity, and time in motion.

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

Average velocity is calculated as the change in position (displacement) over the change in time.

How do you find the area under a velocity-time graph to determine displacement?

The area under the curve can be calculated using geometric shapes.

What does a negative velocity indicate about an object's motion?

It indicates that the object is moving towards the origin.

What happens to instantaneous velocity when velocity is constant?

The instantaneous velocity is the same as the average velocity.

What is the concept of instantaneous velocity?

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific instant in time.

What does the derivative represent in the context of motion?

The derivative represents instantaneous velocity by finding the slope at a specific point on a curve.
