VELOCITY VS TIME GRAPHS

Describing Motion with Velocity vs. Time Graphs                                                       

-The slope of the line on a velocity-time graph reveals useful information about the acceleration of the object.

-If the acceleration is zero, the slope is zero (i.e., a horizontal line).

-If the acceleration is positive, the slope is positive (i.e., an upward sloping line). 

-If the acceleration is negative, the slope is negative (i.e., a downward sloping line).

                       ZeroAcceleration                                                 Positive Acceleration
