Velocity-Time Graph
The variation of velocity with time can be represented graphically to calculate acceleration exactly like we calculated speed from distance-time graph.
Let us now plot a velocity-time (v - t) graph for the following data.
| Velocity in m/s | 0 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time in Seconds | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
- Take time along x-axis and velocity along y-axis.
- Analyse the given data and make a proper choice of scale for x and y axes.
- Plot the given points.
- Join the points
- Consider any two points A and B on the straight-line graph.
- Draw perpendiculars from A and B to x and y-axes.
- Join A to C, ACB forms a right-angled triangle.
Calculations
- Write the title for the graph.
