Interpreting Velocity-Time Graphs | Year 1 Mech | A Level Maths

Velocity-time graphs combine two of the most important ideas in kinematics into a single picture. In this lesson you will learn how to interpret the gradient as the acceleration, the area under the graph as the displacement, and use these properties to solve problems on motion in a straight line. Graphical solutions are explicitly required by the spec and feature regularly in exam questions.
