Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding how to create velocity vs. time and position vs. time graphs from a given acceleration vs. time graph. The subject area pertains to kinematics and graphical analysis of motion.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to understand the relationship between the areas under the acceleration graph and how they relate to velocity and position. Questions arise about the practical steps needed to draw these graphs accurately.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided insights about the areas under the graphs indicating velocity and position, but there remains uncertainty regarding the actual process of drawing the graphs. Multiple interpretations of the graphical relationships are being explored.

Contextual Notes

There is a noted lack of clarity on how to apply the area calculations to graphing, and participants express confusion about the drawing process itself.

How do I draw a velocity vs time graph and a position vs time graph if I'm a given a acceleration vs time graph ?
Thank you :D

The area under the acceleration vs. time graph gives the velocity at that point. Similarly, the area under the velocity vs. time graph gives the position.

but I still don't get how I draw it in the graph
 
can someone help mee??!

For example, the area from t=0 to t=t1, will give the velocity at t= t1.
