Distance against time graphs distance No movement time Slides: 20 Download presentation Distance against time graphs distance No movement? time Constant speed? distance The gradient of a distance vs time graph gives the speed time Constant speed distance How would the graph look different for a faster constant speed? time Constant speed faster distance slower time Acceleration = change in speed (in m/s) (in m/s 2) time taken (in s) Getting faster? (accelerating) distance time A car accelerating from stationary start and then hitting a wall… distance time Speed against time graphs speed No movement? time Constant speed? speed time Faster Constant speed fast time Getting faster? (accelerating) speed Constant acceleration The gradient of a speed vs time graph gives the acceleration time Getting faster? (accelerating) speed The area under the graph gives the distance travelled time A stone dropped from a tall cliff (no air resistance) speed Area = height of building time Be careful! speed distance time No movement speed distance time Constant speed distance time Area = distance travelled time Constant acceleration speed distance time Area = distance travelled time Non Constant acceleration speed distance time Area = distance travelled time Distance-time graph Speed-time graph
