1
New cards

define acceleration

the rate of change of velocity

2
New cards

what’s the equation for velocity?

velocity = final velocity - initial velocity/time

3
New cards

what does a constant positive gradient show in a velocity time graph?

constant acceleration

4
New cards

what does a straight line with no gradient on a velocity time graph show?

constant velocity of zero acceleration

5
New cards

what does a straight line of constant negative gradient show?

constant deceleration

6
New cards

what does a curve with changing gradient show?

changing acceleration

7
New cards

what does the gradient in a velocity time graph represent?

the velocity

8
New cards

what is the area under the gradient in a velocity time graph?

the displacement

9
New cards

how do you calculate the area under the gradient for a linear velocity time graph?

break the area under into triangles and rectangles to calculate the displacement

10
New cards

how do you calculate the area under the gradient for a non linear velocity time graph?

count the squares that are completely or half under the gradient, disregard the ones that are mostly above the gradient
