The
gradient
of a
velocity time graph
shows the
acceleration
of the object.
If the object has a
constant positive gradient
then the object has a
constant
acceleration
If the object has a
constant negative gradient
then the object has a
constant
deceleration
Flat
sections
have a gradient of
0
meaning
velocity
is
constant.
If the curve gets
steeper
, the
gradient
must be
increasing
Velocity
is the
measurement
of how
fast
an object moves at a particular
direction
