For one thing, the general definition of acceleration doesn’t apply here: It doesn’t mean going faster. Sometimes it means going slower. “If unit two on multiplication and division in 4th ...

We have a graph, but what do we do with it ... Since the slope of the linear fit is 0.0541 m/s 2 (yes, the slope has units), then the acceleration of this cart would be 0.108 m/s 2.

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The gradient of a velocity-time graph at a particular time gives the acceleration of the object at that time.
