Lesson 4 focuses on the use of velocity versus time graphs to describe motion. As we will learn, the specific features of the motion of objects are demonstrated by the shape and the slope of the lines …

Dec 1, 2025 · Explore the concept of velocity-time graphs and how they represent acceleration in sprinters and other moving objects, with examples and interactive elements.

Velocity-time graphs show how velocity changes over time, with the slope representing acceleration, and the area under the graph representing the distance travelled.

A velocity-time graph shows how velocity changes over time. The sprinter’s velocity increases for the first 4 seconds of the race, it remains constant for the next 3 seconds, and it decreases during the …

Learn how to interpret the motion of an object represented on a velocity vs. time graph.

3 days ago · Imagine an object that moves at a constant velocity, 𝑣, for a period of time that lasts from 𝑡 = 0 s to 𝑡 = 1 0 s. A graph of the velocity of the object against time might look like as follows. Since the …

As the graph shows, the velocity is constant (c) throughout the interval. No particles of matter how much the time changes, the velocity will be c at every instant. In this case, we have taken the initial velocity …
