Unit 2 Segment D: Graphing Motion We stop by a food truck to investigate three different ways to graph motion: position versus time, velocity versus time, and acceleration versus time.

Remember, acceleration is the same as gradient, and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. Look at the graph. The acceleration of the vehicle in the first 10 seconds is: ...

The velocity time graphs give all three variables for motion–velocity which can be read off at any time. Area is displacement and gradient is acceleration. Next page ...

Toggling between top speed and acceleration is a complex dance in Formula 1 racing, something skilled F1 drivers must learn ...
