A negative gradient shows the rate of “slowing down” or deceleration. Velocity-time graphs show velocity on the vertical axis. Acceleration is still represented by the gradient. Key fact The gradient ...
Imagine you want to study what happens when an object accelerates. Oh, this is way before any of that internet stuff—also, no computers or electronics. In fact, let's say it's the year 1780. What do ...
