Interpreting Velocity graphs

This video gives a bit of information about interpreting the motion based on the velocity vs time graph. Examples of different types of motion are shown.

Watched 3 videos and was still stumped ....then I found this ....really well explained particularly the negative acceleration....many thanks from Scotland. 🥃

I have an AP Physics test tomorrow and this helped so much

The clarity condenses the concept into visually understandable form. Words fail me. Thank you.

WOW this distance learning sucks, but this video helped so much. Thanks!

Excellent explanation, Jennifer, thank you!

My book says that when the graph goes flat that there is no velocity no motion. It has a sample when a car is traveling as the graph is rising then the car is moving forward, when the graph is flat the car is stopped, and when the graph is falling the car is going in reverse.

i wish i found this video last year when I took ap physics but it is very helpful for ap calc too

Thanks this helped with explaining these graphs to my daughter

So when there is an upward slope coming from below the x axis does this mean that an object is slowing down going backwards . The velocity would be getting closer to the x axis, but acceleration becomes positive. Could you also call this deceleration for the behavior i just described?

Hi, if anyone can answer it’d be really helpful. If she says it’s a negative acceleration below x axis (at 1.34 timestamp), it would mean slowing down right? But she also says the graph below the x axis is acceleration just moving backwards (at 2.41 timestamp) hence speeding up. So which one is it?

Hi you are getting for which exam and what is your country

[arifjawad]

I got the exact same graph on my board exam
