1. Starter acceleration speed
Slope on a distance-time graph represents
acceleration
Slope on a velocity-time graph represents
speed
A body travelling at a steady speed is accelerating if its direction is changing.
Velocity is .. speed in a given direction.

3. Using graphs L.O.: Calculate distance from a velocity-time graph.
Calculate speed from a distance-time graph.
Calculate acceleration from a velocity-time graph.

4. The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled.

5. Q1) calculate accelerations
Q2) calculate distance covered

6. area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height
Area of light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16m.
Area of dark-blue rectangle
is 8 × 6 = 48m.
Area under the whole graph The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is:
= 64m.

14. You will be shown a series of graphs.
You have to walk along a line, so that your motion is the same as the graph shows.
Each should take about 10 seconds.
The exact time and distance is not important.
Think about each one before you start to move.

15. An easy one to start with . . .
distance from starting point (m) 10
time (s)
An easy one to start with . . .

16. What’s happening here? Think carefully before you start.
distance from starting point (m) 10
time (s)
What’s happening here? Think carefully before you start.

17. distance from starting point (m)10
time (s)
A three-part journey

18. Going down? Think about what this means before you start.
distance from starting point (m) 10
time (s)
Going down? Think about what this means before you start.

19. Negative distance! Again think about this before you start.
distance from starting point (m) 10
time (s)
Negative distance! Again think about this before you start.

20. distance from starting point (m)10
time (s)
Everything all at once!

21. Why is this more realistic?
distance from starting point (m) 10
time (s)
Why is this more realistic?

22. Careful! This is a speed–time graph!
speed (m/s) 2
time (s) 10
Careful! This is a speed–time graph!

23. An impossible task? Can this be done?
speed (m/s) 2
time (s) 10
An impossible task? Can this be done?

24. speed (m/s) 2
time (s) 10
A more realistic walk!

25. A more complicated journey
speed (m/s) 2
time (s) 10
A more complicated journey

26. A little bit of everything
speed (m/s) 2
time (s) 10
A little bit of everything

27. Note: this graph shows velocity not speed.
velocity (m/s) 2
time (s) 10 –2
Note: this graph shows velocity not speed.

28. And finally . . . where should you end up here?
velocity (m/s) 2
time (s) 10 –2
And finally where should you end up here?
