Acceleration vs. Time graph

Definition

An acceleration vs. time graph represents how an object's acceleration changes over a given period of time. It shows whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or maintaining a constant acceleration.

Related terms

Positive Acceleration: Positive acceleration occurs when an object's speed increases over time.

Negative Acceleration (Deceleration): Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration, happens when an object slows down or decreases its speed over time.

Uniform Acceleration: Uniform acceleration refers to constant or consistent changes in an object's speed over equal intervals of time.
