With this distance and time value, I can simply plug it into the kinematic equation and solve for the acceleration. This would give an acceleration of 0.1053 m/s 2 .

Stuff is constantly falling—off tables, out of bags, from the sky. Let's explore the science of all things tumbling downward.

The velocity time graphs give all three variables for motion–velocity which can be read off at any time. Area is displacement and gradient is acceleration. Next page ...

Speed-time graphs show speed on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The gradient of a speed-time graph represents acceleration because: gradient = \( \frac {\text{change in y ...
