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.
 
 
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.
