Example: Using the gradient or slope of a distance - time graph to work out the speed of an object. Calculate the speed of the object represented by the green line in the graph below, from 0 to 3 s.

Distance-time graphs show how the distance travelled by a moving object changes with time. These graphs also show if the object is moving at a constant speed or accelerating, going back to the ...

We are going to measure distance and time for an accelerating object and use that to find the acceleration. In the past, I would do this lab using a specialized drop timer. It was a stop watch ...
