gradient = \(\frac{change~in~y}{change~in~x} = \frac{change~in~speed}{change~in~time} = \) \( \frac{change~in~metres~per~second}{change~in~seconds}\) = metres per ...

Physics can feel inscrutable to students; this lesson helps them understand a graphing problem by analyzing their own ...

A negative gradient shows the rate of “slowing down” or deceleration. Velocity-time graphs show velocity on the vertical axis. Acceleration is still represented by the gradient. Key fact The gradient ...

Vernier Video Physics uses video data to calculate velocity over time. Vernier Software & Technology has rolled out a new application that works with the iPod touch, iPad, or iPhone to collect physics ...
