Suppose you have an object with an initial velocity of 2 m/s that speeds up to a final velocity of 12 m/s over 5 seconds. Using the formula above, you can calculate its acceleration as follows: a = ...

In physics, displacement is a key concept that allows us to measure an object’s overall change in position. One way to determine such displacement is by analyzing a velocity-time graph. In this ...

The gradient of a displacement-time graph at a particular time gives the velocity of the object at that time. The gradient of a velocity-time graph at a particular time gives the acceleration of the ...

The speed of an object does not require a direction to be considered, it simply has a value and unit, for example, 27 \(m\,s^{-1}\). Velocity is a vector quantity which requires a value, unit and ...
