Velocity-time graphs show how the velocity (or speed) of a moving object changes with time. These graphs also show if the object is moving at a constant speed or accelerating, decelerating, or still.
Speed-time graphs show speed on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The gradient of a speed-time graph represents acceleration because: gradient = \( \frac {\text{change in ...
Velocity is always TANGENT to the path. Acceleration, in general, has BOTH tangential and normal components. The normal component of acceleration always points INWARD to the path. The tangential ...
One must get the methods of measuring position and time working together if we are to obtain a reliable representation of motion. To that end we have developed a unique system composed of elements ...
