AQA A-Level Physics > 4.8 Acceleration-Time Graphs > Flashcards
what does the height of an acceleration-time graph give?
the objects acceleration at that time
how is deceleration shown on an acceleration-time graph?
with a negative value of acceleration
what does a positive gradient mean on an acceleration-time graph?
rate of acceleration is increasing
how do you find the change in velocity from an acceleration-time graph?
the area under the graph is equal to the total change in velocity
