A velocity-time graph is a visual representation of the relationship between an object's velocity and time. It shows how an object's velocity changes over time.
To create a velocity-time graph from a distance-time graph, you need to plot the velocity on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The velocity can be calculated by finding the slope of the distance-time graph at each point.
The slope on a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration of an object. A steeper slope indicates a greater change in velocity over time, which means the object is accelerating.
A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity. This means there is no change in velocity over time, and the object is not accelerating or decelerating.
To determine the distance traveled by an object, you can calculate the area under the velocity-time graph. This can be done by dividing the graph into smaller shapes, such as rectangles or triangles, and finding the area of each shape. Then, add all the areas together to get the total distance traveled.
