Acceleration Part 2

Acceleration Part 2

• 10.2

2
Acceleration can be determined from a
velocity-time graph

• Plot velocity on the Y-axis
• Plot time on the X-axis
• The slope of the line gives you acceleration

3
Describe the motion of the red car vs. the blue
car in terms of acceleration
4
A positive slope means the car is speeding up
5
A horizontal line means the object is not
accelerating
6
A negative slope means the object is slowing down
7
Compare the graphs for constant velocity
