\(gradient = \frac{change~in~y}{change~in~x} = \frac{change~in~distance}{change~in~time} = \frac{change~in~metres}{change~in~seconds} = m/s.\) The gradient of a ...
A negative gradient shows the rate of “slowing down” or deceleration. Velocity-time graphs show velocity on the vertical axis. Acceleration is still represented by the gradient. Key fact The gradient ...
