Velocity-Time(VT) Graphs Mr. Fedell
VT vs. PT graphs A position-time (PT) graph tells you where an object is. A velocity-time graph tells you how fast it’s moving. **(VT graphs DO NOT give in position info!)**
When an object stays still for 10 s, its velocity is 0 m/s.
Constant Velocity CV –AWAY CV-TOWARDS
Speeding up or Slowing down Speed up – away Slow down – away Speed up – toward Slow down - toward
This may help… AWAY STILL TOWARDS
V vs. T Graphs WS Practice!
V vs. T Graphs WS KEY!
PT and VT – Motion Detector Lab File Open Additional Physics Real Time physics Mechanics Open file “Constant Velocity” Extend data collection from 5 -10 seconds. - Capture the PT and VT for a JEEP backflip - Sketch well-labeled graphs. Label parts as CV-away, still, CV-towards - Obtain the slope of the PT on both the CV away and CV towards sections, compare with your VT graph! (show all work below)
This may help… AWAY STILL TOWARDS
“Racing Questions” • In this race, who is: a) Moving faster i. at 0 seconds? ii. at 5 seconds? iii. at 10 seconds? b) Moving with a positive velocity? c) What does the intersection indicate? d)Who started “ahead”?
Practice – Racing problems!
Converting from POSITION to VELOCITY Graphs • The slope of a P-T graph is the velocity.

Concept Review • What information can we gather from a PT? • What value does slope represent? • A negative slope indicates what? • What information can we gather from a VT? • Can we obtain position information from a VT? • What is indicated when an objects velocity goes from + to – ? • What value might slope represent? (units? )

SLOPES! ØThe slope of PT graph gives the velocity (m/s). ØThe slope of a VT graph gives the acceleration (change in velocity) Ø Includes both SPEED UP and SLOW DOWN Unit for acceleration = m/s 2 or m/s/s
SLOPES! ØSo what does an acceleration of 1 m/s 2 mean? ØHow about 5 m/s 2 ? Ø Kingda Ka: 11 m/s 2 !!!
SLOPES! ØA slope of ZERO indicates CONSTANT VELOCITY or STILL… Still CV-AWAY CV-Towards
SLOPES! ØA steeper slope the higher the acceleration. It’s the more QUICKLY and object can CHANGE its VELOCITY. Motorcycle 18 Wheeler

Practice Quiz Question #1 • At rest • Constant velocity • Speeding up • Slowing down • Moving away from the origin • Moving towards the origin • Farthest distance from the origin
Practice Quiz Question #2 40 35 • Initial position? 30 25 • Final position? 20 15 • Displacement? 10 5 • Velocity at each stage?
Practice Quiz Question #3 +8 +6 +4 A +2 Velocity (m/s) 0 -2 -4 -6 -8 B C D E F G • At rest • Constant velocity • Speeding up • Slowing down • Moving away from the origin • Moving towards the origin • Farthest distance from the origin
Draw the PT for the following scenario: • • • You You You walk to Java City for 5 s slow down as you approach the line for 5 s wait in line for 5 s turn around and speed up for 5 s walk at a constant velocity for 5 s
Convert the PT from last slide to a VT
Sign of Velocity and Acceleration • If an object has zero acceleration, it is: 1. Still 2. CV-AWAY 3. CV-TOWARDS Change in velocity (slope of a VT graph)
Acceleration has a direction • It’s not always pointing in the same direction you’re moving… Scenario 1: Speeding up (gas pedal) + Velocity Scenario 2: Slowing Down (brakes) + Velocity + Acceleration - Acceleration
Sign of Velocity and Acceleration • If you are accelerating in the SAME direction you’re moving…Speeding Up Reverse Forward V (-) V (+) a (-) a (+) • If you are accelerating in the OPPOSITE direction you’re moving…Slowing Down Reverse Forward V (-) V (+) a (-)
