Velocity-Time Graphs: Constant Speed Motion Video Tutorial
The Velocity-Time Graphs: Constant Speed Motion Video Tutorial discusses the shape and features of a velocity-time graph for an object that is moving with constant speed. The distinctions of the graphs for positive vs. negative velocity and for fast-moving vs. slow-moving objects are clearly made. Numerous examples, graphs, and animations assist in the explanations. The video lesson answers the following questions:
- What are the features of a line on a velocity-time graph for a constant velocity motion?
- How does a velocity-time graph distinguish an object with + velocity from an object with - velocity?
- How does a velocity-time graph distinguish a fast-moving object from a slow-moving object?
