What does a flat (horizontal) line on a velocity-time graph mean?
[Example section B on this graph]
The object is not moving.
The object is moving, but at a constant velocity.
The object is accelerating, and its acceleration is positive.
The object is accelerating, and its acceleration is negative.
You can calculate the slope of a velocity-time graph.
If you calculate the slope of the graph between two points, what would that tell you?
The velocity of the object.
The distance travelled by the object.
The acceleration of the object.
The mass of the object
During section A of the graph (between 0s and 25s), the object is accelerating.
Change in velocity in this time = 3 - 0 = 3m/s
Time taken = 25 - 0 = 25s
What is its acceleration?
Acceleration = Change in velocity x time = 3 x 25 = 75m/s2
Acceleration = Change in velocity / time = 3/25 = 0.12m/s2
