LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of this topic, I shall be able to…

1. Appreciate how to use velocity-time graphs to determine

displacement.
 Velocity-Time Graph
AREA = DISPLACEMENT

Recall…

Δv
The gradient of a v-t graph = Δt
Δ(metres)
= Δ(seconds)

= acceleration, ms-2

Similarly… Area = distance for

speed-time graph
The area under a v-t graph = Δv x Δt
= Δ(metres) x Δ(seconds)
= displacement, m
