Question
Suppose you are looking at a graph of velocity as a function of time. How can you estimate the acceleration at a given point in time?
Step 1
In other words, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. On a graph of velocity versus time, this rate of change is represented by the slope of the graph. Show more…
