Section: Changing Velocity Date:

Learning Target: Plot a graph for velocity as it changes with time.

Interpret the slope of the velocity (v) versus time (t) graph.

V initial = 0 V (t= 20 s) = 3 m/s V final = 12 m/s

The table below shows the speed

Velocity vs. Time Graph
( V ) or magnitude of the velocity of
a car at different times. It is clear
that the velocity of the car changes.
It is not constant at any given time
(t ).
