Interpreting Distance-Time Graphs 🔗

In pairs, describe the velocity of the object at A, B, C, D and E?

Calculating Velocity From Graphs 🔗

$$ \begin{aligned} v &= \text{ gradient} \cr v &= \frac{rise}{run} \cr v &= \frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} = \frac{d_{f} - d_{i}}{t_{f} - t_{i}} \cr \end{aligned} $$

e.g. $$ \begin{aligned} v_{A} &= \frac{d_{f} - d_{i}}{t_{f} - t_{i}} = \frac{30000 - 0}{3600 - 0} \cr v_{A} &= 8.33ms^{-1} \end{aligned} $$
