why gradient = speed in a distance time graph?
speed = distance/ time
what do the flat sections of a distance time graph show?
these show where the object is stationary, where its stopped
what do the straight uphill sections show on a distance time graph?
travelling at steady speed
what do curves on a distance time graph represent?
acceleration or deceleration
what does a steeping curve represent
object is speeding up
what does the levelling of curve represent?
the object slowing down
how do you find the objects changing speed?
finding gradient of the tangent
In velocity time graphs why does gradient = acceleration?
acceleration is the change in velocity over time
what do the flat sections of a velocity time graph represent?
steady speed object is travelling in
what happens the gradient of the graph as it gets steeper?
the greater the acceleration or deceleration
what do the uphill sections in a velocity time graph represent?
acceleration
what do the downhill sections in a velocity time graph represent?
deceleration
what does a curve in a velocity time graph represent?
changing acceleration
what is the area of the section under the graph equal to?
distance travelled
