Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can read information from velocity-time graphs and calculate acceleration and distance travelled.
Show transcript
A velocity-time graph shows how velocity changes with time.
Acceleration is equal to the gradient of a velocity-time graph.
A falling line shows decreasing velocity called deceleration, which is a negative acceleration.
The gradient of the line gives the instantaneous acceleration.
The distance travelled is equal to the area under a velocity-time graph.
