Velocity vs. Time Graphs

Definition

Velocity vs. Time graphs show how an object's velocity changes over time. The graph plots velocity on the y-axis and time on the x-axis, allowing us to visualize how an object's motion varies with respect to time.

Related terms

Slope:

The steepness of a line on a graph, which represents the rate of change between two variables.

Constant velocity: When an object's velocity remains the same over time, resulting in a straight horizontal line on the velocity vs. time graph.

Acceleration:

The rate at which an object's velocity changes, represented by curved lines or changing slopes on the velocity vs. time graph.
