Velocity - Time Graphs
Important Questions on Velocity - Time Graphs
What can you say about the motion of a body, if its velocity-time graph is parallel to the time axis?
A car is moving on a straight road with uniform acceleration. The speed of the car varies with time as follows:
| Time | ||||||
| Speed |
Draw the speed-time graph by choosing a convenient scale. Determine from it:
