Velocity vs time graph Calculating the slope acceleration

Velocity vs time graph Calculating the slope acceleration

• Calculate the acceleration for each segment of the graph • The slope of a v-t graph is acceleration • Slope is calculated by the equation

• To follow along- print slides 4, 9, 12, 15 • Answers to follow
