Question

How would you determine the acceleration of a body from its velocity-time graph?

Open in App

Solution

Acceleration can be determined by the slope of the velocity-time graph.
If the velocity-time graph is a straight line then the acceleration remains constant.
If the slope of the straight line is positive then positive acceleration occurs.
If it is negative then negative acceleration occurs.
