    Graph Time
In summary, a velocity/displacement time graph is a visual representation of an object's velocity and displacement over time. Velocity can be calculated by finding the slope of the line on the graph, while a horizontal line indicates no movement. Acceleration is represented by the slope of the velocity line, with steeper slopes indicating higher acceleration. Positive and negative slopes on the graph indicate movement in the positive or negative direction respectively, with steeper slopes indicating faster movement.

Welcome to PF!

Hi slobodan48! Welcome to PF! :wink:

Let's take the Velocity-Time Graph first …

how do you think you can measure the acceleration, maximum displacement, and distance from that? :smile:

Perhaps you could state a definition for acceleration, and work from there.
 

1. What is a velocity/displacement time graph?

A velocity/displacement time graph is a visual representation of the relationship between an object's velocity and displacement over time. It shows how an object's position changes over time and at what rate it is moving.

2. How is velocity calculated on a velocity/displacement time graph?

Velocity can be determined by finding the slope of the line on the graph. The slope is calculated by dividing the change in displacement by the change in time.

3. What does a horizontal line on a velocity/displacement time graph indicate?

A horizontal line on a velocity/displacement time graph indicates that the object is not moving. This means the velocity is 0 and there is no change in displacement over time.

4. How is acceleration represented on a velocity/displacement time graph?

Acceleration is represented by the slope of the velocity line on the graph. A steeper slope indicates a higher acceleration, while a flatter slope indicates a lower acceleration.

5. What is the difference between a positive and negative slope on a velocity/displacement time graph?

A positive slope on a velocity/displacement time graph indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates movement in the negative direction. The steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.
