We are going to measure distance and time for an accelerating object and use that to find the acceleration. In the past, I would do this lab using a specialized drop timer. It was a stop watch ...

Speed and acceleration Speed-time graphs. The motion of any moving object can be described by its speed– time graph. ... A horizontal line on a speed-time graph represents a steady speed.

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 ...
