Acceleration close accelerationThe rate of change in speed (or velocity) is measured in metres per second squared. Acceleration = change of velocity ÷ time taken. is the rate of change of velocity. It ...

Physics can feel inscrutable to students; this lesson helps them understand a graphing problem by analyzing their own ...

In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

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.
