Homework Statement
I just want to know how you determine the acceleration on a velocity vs. time graph and how to determine the velocity on a displacement vs. time graph.
Velocity refers to an object's speed and direction of motion, whereas displacement is the distance and direction an object has moved from its starting point.
A velocity vs. time graph shows an object's velocity at different points in time. The slope of the line represents the object's acceleration, while the area under the line represents the object's displacement.
The slope of a displacement vs. time graph represents the object's velocity. A steeper slope indicates a higher velocity, while a flatter slope indicates a lower velocity.
The average velocity can be determined by finding the slope of the line connecting the initial and final positions on a displacement vs. time graph.
The area under a velocity vs. time graph represents the object's displacement. The larger the area, the greater the displacement of the object.
