A negative gradient shows the rate of “slowing down” or deceleration. Velocity-time graphs show velocity on the vertical axis. Acceleration is still represented by the gradient. Key fact The gradient ...

At one point in the past, I was a teenager. Hard to believe, I know, but it's true. During that time, I thought about teenager things. In particular, I recall thinking about and wanting a super fast ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...
