Displacement is the area under the v-t graph.
As, in the velocity-time graph, curves passes through zero means 'when time is zero velocity is zero'. Velocity is time derivative of displacement. So displacement is maximum or minimum when time is zero in position-time graph.
The nature of displacement-time graph is parabolic if the acceleration is constant(uniform). When acceleration is constant, displacement is directly proportional to the square of time which results into a parabolic structure of graph.
-- Pick two points on the graph. -- Find the difference in time between the two points. -- Find the difference in displacement between the same two points. -- (Difference in displacement) divided by (difference in time) is the average Speed . You can't tell anything about velocity from the graph except its magnitude, because the graph displays no information regarding the direction of motion.
If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
A displacement vs. time graph of a body moving with uniform (constant) velocity will always be a line of which the slope will be the value of velocity. This is true because velocity is the derivative (or slope at any time t) of the displacement graph, and if the slope is always constant, then the displacement will change at a constant rate.
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.
Displacement is the area under the v-t graph.
Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.
An object moving with uniform acceleration has a uniform change in velocity over time, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight line with either a positive or negative slope. An object moving with no acceleration has constant velocity, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight, horizontal line with zero slope. Refer to the related link for illustrations.
To get displacement from a displacement graph, just look at the Y- axis for the particular time (displacement versus time). For the displacement graph, the Y-axis is usually displacement.
The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.
An Upward Sloping Straight Line. <3
the displacement mean the shortest distance between two points. the shape of displacement where the objects move and its also help us to tell the shape of displacement with the use of graph.
The slope at each point of a displacement/time graph is the speed at that instant of time. (Not velocity.)
False. The slope of a velocity vs time graph is acceleration
