Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The gradient of a velocity-time graph at a particular time gives the acceleration of the object at that time.

Such graphs are known as displacement-time graphs. Sections A and C show travelling away from home. Sections B and D are when the journey has paused for a rest or a wait. Section E shows the ...

They are afraid to embrace the power of the graph. OK ... I am going to show you another way to find the acceleration from this distance-time data. Let's go back to our kinematic equation ...
