Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs

Distance-time and Velocity-time graphs

• If an object moves in a straight line, its distance travelled can be plotted on a distance time graph.
• On these graphs, gradient = speed. The steeper the graph the faster the object is moving. 
• Flat sections are where it's strationary.
• Straight uphill sections are where it is travelling at a steady speed.
• Curves represent acceleration or deceleration.
• A steepening curve means it's speeding up.
• A levening off curve means it is slowing down.
• if the object is changing speed (accelerating), you…
