Just about every introductory physics lab should have some type of graph. Skip to main content. Open Navigation Menu. ... Look at some new equipment and learn how to not break it.

If you look back at our model, you can see that we are plotting distance (x) versus time squared (t 2) and these two should be proportional with the constant of (1/2)a. So, the slope of our ...

Collisions, explosions and impulse Impulse graphs Momentum, kinetic energy and impulse can be used to analyse collisions between objects such as vehicles or balls. Forces and the final velocity of ...

To find the distance travelled, look at the area under the graph. In the first 10 seconds this is the area of the triangle, ½ × 10 s × 40 m/s = 200 m. From 10 to 20 seconds this is the area of ...
