Velocity-Time Graph

The video tutorial explains the concepts of velocity-time graphs, highlighting their importance in understanding an object's motion over time. It covers how to interpret these graphs to determine velocity, acceleration, and displacement. The tutorial also includes calculations for converting units between kilometers per hour and meters per second. It further explores how to calculate acceleration and displacement using the area under the graph. The video concludes with discussions on uniform and non-uniform motion, including acceleration and retardation patterns.
