How quickly the velocity changes is called...
acceleration
1 of 11
Change in DIRECTION and change in SPEED is called...
velocity
2 of 11
Change in velocity / time taken =
acceleration
3 of 11
On a VTG acceleration is shown by the
gradient
4 of 11
On a VTG flat sections represent a
steady speed
5 of 11
The steeper the graph the greater the
acceleration or deceleration
6 of 11
Uphill sections are
acceleration
7 of 11
downhill sections are
deceleration
8 of 11
the area under the graph is equal to the distance travelled in that
time interval
9 of 11
a curve means a change in
acceleration
10 of 11
the velocity is found by reading off the
velocity axis
