Physics GCSE P2 AQA

Speed (m/s) = Distance/time  

Acceleration (m/s^2)= Change in Velocity/Time Taken

Distance/Time Graphs

• A curve upwards = acceleration
• A curve downwards = decceleration
• Straight line diagonal going up = constant speed
• Straight line diagonal going down = constant speed in other direction
• Straight line = stopped

Velocity/Time Graph

• Diagonal line upwards = acceleration
• Diagonal line downwards = deceleration
• A curve upwards = increasing acceleration
• Straight line = steady speed
