PHYSICS IS FUN
Unit 1: Kinematics
Position time Graph:
X-axis - Time
Y-axis - Position
Slope = Velocity
If quadratic that means there will be an acceleration of the object
If linear, the Acceleration will be 0
if horizontal, velocity will be 0 and acceleration will be 0
Velocity Time Graph:
X-Axis - Time
Y-Axis - Velocity
Slope = Acceleration
If linear there will be an acceleration of the object
If horizontal the acceleration will be 0
The area under the graph can be used to find the displacement (Delta X)
Doesn't tell us the initial or final position, just the change in distance from the start to finish
Acceleration Time graph
X-Axis - Time
Y-Axis - Acceleration
The area under the graph can be used to find the change in Velocity (Delta V)
Doesn't tell us the initial or final velocity, just the change in velocity from start to finish
