How do I generate a velocity-time graph of a motion from an acceleration-time graph? Please answer..

Question

anonymous · Answer

well velocity vs time shows you the speed in a given direction in respect to the time. So you would indicate the velocity and if the acceleration increases then you know that the velocity increases so you draw the line higher or lower depending on acceleration/decelleration

ohh, i see. But what if the acceleration is constant 4.0 m/s^2 [E] for 0.8 s, how can I draw a v-t graph?

anonymous · Answer

Well you know that for every second it is increasing its velocity at a rate of 4.0m/s^2

anonymous · Answer

yup.

anonymous · Answer

so just increase the velocity by 4 for every second so at 8 seconds your velocity is 32m/s

anonymous · Answer

ohhh, okay. thanks!
