Since the acceleration is constant within each interval, the new graph should be made entirely of linked horizontal segments.ĭisplacement is the product of velocity and time. To find acceleration, calculate the slope in each interval. The motion of this object is described for several segments in the graph below.Īcceleration is the rate of change of displacement with time.
You can say what direction it's moving, how fast it's going, and whether or not it's accelerating, however. You can't immediately determine where the object is from this graph.
Do not read it as if it was showing you position. The problem presents us with a velocity-time graph.
