Equations Of Motion By Graphical Method
Chapter Name : Motion |
Sub Topic Code : 101_09_08_05_02 |
Topic Name : Equations Of Motion By Graphical Method |
|
Sub Topic Name : Equation For Velocity-Time Relation |
|
Introduction
The rate at which the velocity changes with time gives acceleration. Thus, the slope of the graph gives the acceleration
Pre-Requisites:
Basics of Cartesian Coordinate system, Velocity - Time graph, Displacement -Time Graph, Equations of Motion
Activity:
Using the graph and the techniques like what the slope and areas represents, we can derive the relationship between velocity, time and acceleration.
Real Life Question:
What is the velocity of your car if you accelerate from rest at 60km per hour in 10 minutes?
