Different types of velocity are explored, and we investigate how to find information from a position versus time graph.

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.

A negative gradient shows the rate of “slowing down” or deceleration. Velocity-time graphs show velocity on the vertical axis. Acceleration is still represented by the gradient. Key fact The ...
