Velocity-Time Graphs: Calculating Acceleration Video Tutorial

The Velocity-Time Graphs: Calculating Acceleration Video Tutorial discusses the meaning of slope and the relationship between slope and acceleration on a velocity-time graph. The procedure for calculating slope is clearly explained and modeled using three sample calculations. The tutorial ends with two practice problems followed by their answers and solutions. The video lesson answers the following questions:
  1. What is slope and how can the concept be used to extract information from a velocity-time graph about the motion of an object?
  2. How can one calculate the slope of the line on a velocity-time graph and determine the acceleration of the object?
