Acceleration from Velocity-Time Graphs | GCSE Physics
A velocity-time graph shows how an object's velocity changes over time.
How do you find acceleration from a velocity-time graph?
What is Acceleration from Velocity-Time Graphs | GCSE Physics?
"A graph showing how the velocity of an object varies with time."
What is the resultant force on an object if a 10N force acts right and a 4N force acts left?
Which of these is the correct vector equivalent of 'Distance'?
An object moves at a constant velocity. What is the resultant force?
What is the unit of the spring constant (k)?
Plotting Velocity
The gradient of the line represents the acceleration.
A horizontal line means constant velocity (zero acceleration).
A downward slope means deceleration.
A line on the x-axis means the object is stationary.
Key Distinction: On a Distance-Time graph, a flat line means "stopped". On a Velocity-Time graph, it means "constant speed". Don't mix them up!

The fastest way to improve your grade is to practise exam-style questions, identify your gaps, and focus only on what you don't know.
