Converting dt graph (and table) to velocity/time using two point

AI Thread Summary
To convert a distance/time graph into a velocity/time graph using the two-point method, one must understand that velocity is the rate of change of displacement over time, represented by the slope of the distance-time graph. A straight line on the distance-time graph indicates constant velocity, resulting in a horizontal line on the velocity-time graph. Conversely, a parabolic distance-time graph indicates changing velocity, leading to a sloped velocity-time graph. It is crucial to grasp the physical significance of these relationships rather than just memorizing equations. Understanding these concepts will facilitate the conversion process effectively.

How can we convert a distance/time graph (that also contains a table of info) into velocity/time, using the two point method?

What is the relationship between "velocity" and "distance"?

'd' is displacement 've
you'll learn it afterward perhaps i see

i am giving you graph of speed vs time

if d-t graph is straight line at an angle α with x-axis then v-t graph is a line parallel to x axis
if d-t graph is parabolic then v-t graph is straight line at an angle θ with x axis

Not quite.

You need to know that velocity is the time rate of change of displacement/position. In graph form, it corresponds to the slope at a given point in the displacement-time graph.

You should have enough here to answer the question.

Note that you need to know the physical meaning of all of this. It is not enough to just know/memorize the equation without understanding what it means.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
I know that mass does not affect the acceleration in a simple pendulum undergoing SHM, but how does the mass on the spring that makes up the elastic pendulum affect its acceleration? Certainly, there must be a change due to the displacement from equilibrium caused by each differing mass? I am talking about finding the acceleration at a specific time on each trial with different masses and comparing them. How would they compare and why?
