CP1d Velocity Time Graphs

Here are 3 questions to test their knowledge: 1. What quantity measures how far an object has moved in a given direction? 2. What quantity has both magnitude and direction and describes the rate of change of an object's position? 3. What quantity is measured in metres per second and represents how fast something is moving in a particular direction?

CP1d Velocity /

Time Graphs
Learning Outcomes:
CP1.8 Represent journeys on velocity/time graphs (7).
CP1.8 Interpret velocity/time graphs qualitatively (7).
CP1.8 Calculate uniform accelerations from the gradients
of velocity/time graphs (8).
CP1.8 Determine the distance travelled from the area
under a velocity/time graph (9)

Recall what the following lines on a velocity/time


graph can tell us:

• A straight line
• Sloping upwards in a straight line
• Sloping line downwards
Distance/Time Graphs

Straight horizontal Stationary (not


line moving)

Straight line sloping Moving forwards at a


upwards constant speed

Straight line sloping Moving backwards at


downwards a constant speed
Velocity/Time Graphs
A journey can be represented on a
velocity/time graph.

We plot the
changing velocity
against the time
taken.
Velocity/Time Graphs

A horizontal
line means the
Velocity

object is
travelling at a
constant
velocity.

Time
Velocity/Time Graphs

Straight,
sloping lines
Velocity

mean the
object is
accelerating
(speeding up).

Time
Velocity/Time Graphs

If the Straight,
sloping line is
Velocity

going down, the


object is
decelerating
(slowing down).

Time
Velocity/Time Graphs

If it is a
negative velocity
(below the
Velocity

horizontal axis)
the object is
moving in the
opposite
direction.

Time
Stick in your velocity/time graph then
complete the tasks below:

Distance
By calculating the area under the graph
we can determine the distance travelled.

Can you recall how to calculate the area


of a rectangle/square and a triangle?

By separating the area below the graph
into triangles and rectangles we can
calculate the total area and therefore the
distance travelled.

someone who has no idea about them.

Write 3 questions to test their


knowledge afterwards.
CP1 SPLAT

Two people come up to the board and stand with


their backs to it.

I will ask a question which gives a single word as


an answer. You then turn around, find the word
and ‘splat’ the answer .
