Fun Increasing Velocity Graph
Car 2 - Velocity and acceleration graphs.
Increasing velocity graph. In physics any change in velocity is an acceleration. A velocity-time graph shows the speed and direction an object travels over a specific period of time. Position vs Time graph.
So an increasing acceleration means a steadily increasing slope at each point of the velocity curve such as a curved trace going up faster and faster pun intended as in a power curve eg. It is represented by the gradient of a velocitytime graph. The velocity curve starts at the Y axis.
Differentiating velocity with respect to time gives out acceleration of the body which is in motion. Acceleration is determined by the slope of time-velocity graph. Speed is increasing in sections A C and E.
Therefore speed is increasing in section A. Change in displacement over change in time. This is velocity ms over 4 seconds showing the object getting slower in the direction to the left.
2 Velocity is negative when it is below the x axis. If it was not constant we would see a curved line in our graph. We observe that position is linearly increasing in positive direction with the time.
Acceleration is a vector quantity and is measured in m s 2. Dvdt a dv adt this e. If we have a low velocity the graph has a shallow slope assuming the vertical and horizontal scale of each graph is the same.
