Question

When calculating acceleration what do we use slow or displacement using areaMeaning when Calculating acceleration do we use a slow to get the answer or do we use displacement using area to get the answer which one of the briefly explain how

Answer 1

Given a velocity-time graph.

We can calculate acceleration by taking the slope.

The formula to calculate acceleration is

$a=\frac{v2-v1}{t2-t1}\text{ }$

The velocity-time graph will be

By calculating the area of the triangle, displacement can be calculated.

By calculating slope, acceleration can be calculated.
