Additional Physics Forces and Motion

Additional Physics Forces and Motion

1. Distance time graphs

   • Shows the journey of an object
   • If the line is horizontal then the object is at a steady speed
   • steeper the slope the faster the faster the object is traveling
     • The more slanted slope means the object is moving slower
   • If the object returns back to zero it means it ha arrived back at the staring point.

2. Velocity time graphs

   • Vertical axis is Velocity and the horizontal axis is time
   • The steeper the slope means greater acceleration/deceleration.
   • If the line is horizontal it means the object s travelling at a constant velocity
     • It does NOT mean that the object is stationary.
   • If the object returns to zero it means the velocity is at zero witch means that the object is not moving

3. Speed = Distance divided by Time

4. Acceleration is the change in velocity over a given time
