and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. 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.

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.

OK, let's do a simple experiment and use a graph to find a mathematical model. Constant Acceleration We are going to measure distance and time for an accelerating object and use that to find the ...

There's also a speed readout screen and a handsome graph that plots—in real time—lateral and longitudinal acceleration ... because we've validated it against drag-strip timing lights.

Of course with a human jump, I can look at the total time off the ground ... we just have to make the graph. Here is that graph. Oh, since these are Jedi the upward acceleration and the downward ...
