Velocity-time graphs

Description

This video explains how the direction and gradient of a line on a velocity-time graph can tell us whether an object is accelerating, moving at a constant velocity or decelerating. Velocity time graphs show velocity on the y-axis against time on the x-axis. You can calculate the gradient of a velocity time graph to find acceleration.
