- Velocity Time Graphs
- You should be able to explain velocity-time graphs for objects moving with a constant velocity or constant acceleration.
- The velocity of an object is its speed in a particular direction.
- This means that two cars will have different velocities if they are travelling at:
- The same speed but in different directions
- The different speeds in the same direction
- The different speeds in different directions
- This means that two cars will have different velocities if they are travelling at:
- The vertical axis of a velocity-time graph is the velocity of the object. The horizontal axis is the time from the start.
- When an object is moving with a constant velocity, the line on the graph is horizontal.
- When an object is moving with a constant acceleration, the line on the graph is straight but sloped.
