Speed/Velocity- Time Graphs!
What’s the difference between? Distance and displacement Speed and velocity
What is speed? Speed is a measure of how far an object moves in a given time. This jet is travelling at 350 m/s. This means the jet travels 350 metres every second. This car is travelling at 60 mph. This means the car travels 60 miles every hour.
The speed of an object does not depend on the direction in which it is travelling. The velocity of an object is the speed and direction in which it is moving. The car is travelling north with a velocity of 10 m/s. How is velocity different to speed? As the car goes round the corner, the speed of the car remains constant but the velocity changes.
The acceleration of an object is a measure of how quickly its velocity changes. A train accelerates in a straight line from rest. As it does, its velocity increases. The brakes on this motorcycle are causing it to slow down. This is negative acceleration or deceleration . What is acceleration?
Car is accelerating here – the speed is increasing. The car is going at constant speed – acceleration is zero. The car is decelerating here – or slowing down The car is at rest here – with zero speed

Objective 2 10/16/2022 Calculate Acceleration
Acceleration and deceleration Speed-time graphs show speed on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The gradient of a speed-time graph represents acceleration . Acceleration represents in Metres per second square can be written as m/s2 or ms−2. A negative gradient shows the rate of “slowing down” or deceleration . 10/16/2022
