Calculating Acceleration From a Velocity-Time Graph - GCSE Physics | kayscience.com

The equation that links acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and time is:
acceleration = ( final velocity - initial velocity ) ÷ time

The unit for initial and final velocity is metres / second (m/s)
The unit for acceleration is metres/second 2 (m/s2)
The unit for time is seconds (s)

Final velocity - initial velocity is the same as saying change in velocity.

Acceleration is how quickly an object’s velocity changes.
A positive change in velocity is called acceleration.
A negative change in velocity is called deceleration.

THIS LITERALLY HELPED SO MUCH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT MY TRACHER TAUGHT ME BUT I LEARNT SO MUCH IN 5 MINUTES THANK YOU!!

[Starjennox]

Great job at explaining I understand better now!

[bwestcott]

You earned a subscriber. I was so lost on my astronomy assignment, thank you!

[shushipathiraja]

I'm from Sir Lanka
I understood every word very clearly
Thankyou sir for your great help

[kellyjin]

question: so if the question asked what was the average acceleration during the entire trip, would i add the accelerations and then divide by the number of time intervals which i calculated??

[poonamgahlawat]

Your every video is very informative and useful on each topic.
Great work man👍👍

[ZiaZillion]

this is really helping me in science which is my weakness thank you very much i understand much more now!

[RhodaRuing-ldcd]

Thank you so much for such a big help...I haven't taught well by my teacher.And once again thank you

[Shotu-rh]

Thank u sir for this video
Nice explanation
❤🎉🎉😊

[ogbear]

I write Physics paper 2 tomorrow and this video in superb in terms of explaining the topic :)

[Luvrgirl]

this helped alot sir, thank you very much

[alimamariyam]

IF ONLY I FOUND THIS VIDEO BEFORE MY EXAMS

[Er.Nissar_Malik]

Which type of acceleration I'd this?

[dailydoseofuselessness]

Thank you so much for this video
I just clicked on it cuz i had exams tmrw
Superb explanation 💙

[aaronsibi]

I love your video, thank you so much, this can help me in my exam

[SahansaLeelarathna]

Exam be like
Teacher's example = 2+1=?
Homework = 2³+9³=??
Exam = John has 2 apples his train got 5 minutes late calculate the weight of sun
Agree ??

[raghuraja]

Fabulous explanation..helped me alottt

[asimovghost]

The pen that you used in the video is very similar to the one I have lost I lost it a few days ago and I am wondering if you found it or it was yours because it is greatly missed.
