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 ...

One must get the methods of measuring position and time working together if we are to obtain a reliable representation of motion. To that end we have developed a unique system composed of elements ...

One of the most basic things students do in a physics lab is to collect data and use that to build a model. Most of these models come in the form of a mathematical function. But here is the problem.

gradient = \(\frac{change~in~y}{change~in~x} = \frac{change~in~speed}{change~in~time} = \) \( \frac{change~in~metres~per~second}{change~in~seconds}\) = metres per ...
