Question

how can you find acceleration from velocity time graph

Answer 1

Finding acceleration from velocity - time graph.

On the velocity time graph, The slope of the graph line gives the acceleration of the object.

We know that,

$\sf \: Acceleration = \frac{dv}{dt}$

Here, Velocity, Time are on the both axes respectively. Hence, Slope will give us the acceleration.

Do you know?

• Acceleration is the ratio of change of velocity per unit time.
• $\boxed{ a = \frac{v - u} {t}}$
