Walking Position, Velocity and Acceleration as a Function of Time Graphs

This lesson builds on what we learned about position as a function of time graphs. We start with velocity as a function of time graphs, determine what the motion would look like and then draw position and acceleration as a function of time graphs. We use the concepts of slope and tangent line to help us build the graphs.

I am impressed of the way you teach.You would make a great professor or teacher.Props to you

[NathanAlmighty]

Mrs. Phillips is killing me with these PT-VT-AT graphs, this helps so much, thank you

[ohsnapedits]

Congrats for making a video which is still popular in 10 years (and desperately needed).

[koushiksantra]

this is undoubtedly the most effective, beautiful and intelligent way for studying physics!🙌🖐️🙂🏳️

[shamiksinha]

This channel is so

Great content from great

[bunnyboo]

Thank you so much! This video helped a lot, I've been lost in my physics class since we started this lesson and this helped clear it up a bit. Thanks.

[brunomartel]

awesome, you greatest strength is that you analyze little but crucial stuff that completes the understanding

[vanessapayago]

thank you for excellent teaching. I wish you're our teacher in physics. :)

[joanferreira]

Dude you're like the Neruda of physics lessons- thank you.

[emilydoogan]

Thanks!!! I bet you put a lot of work into that and it helped! Subscriber for life!

[syedburhanofficial]

The best explanation of this topic ever.

[aakshajgupta]

Really amazing way of teaching concepts like this and hardly we could find teachers like u👍🙏

[NEEUch]

Love your videos, especially your teaching style :)

[천재택순]

Today also wonderful video Mr.P. Thanks

[mikester]

Where can I buy one of your magic tangent line finders?

When I looking at the graph looks like mountain, I didn't think much about direction, and of course I thought Billy would slow down in front of the front door. But it made me think about direction because of Billy's mistakes. And the length of this video clip seems to be stretching my knowledge.

[purinji_padipom]

Sir can i use your clips on my videos .

[chrismarcus]

You can start training high school teachers to be better physics teachers. I am on Long Island, NY and my physics teacher is horrible.

For the 2nd tangent line how would the slope by the end be 0 if it's not by the origin- if it's decreasing why is the tangent lines by the ggraph getting smaller but the area under the graph increases

[mename]

How would you dervive distance hyptohetically if a question told you at t=0, x=2, 5 and askes for the poistion at t=2 and gives you a velocity vs time graph is there a way to solve it- can youe explain the process behind it
