Lesson 6
Acceleration and Velocity-Time Graphs
6.1 Acceleration and Position-Time Graphs
Plot a graph of Position vs. Time. Include a title and draw a smooth free-hand curved line through
the points:
The meaning of a curved shape:
Calculate average velocity from 0-20 s:
Explain why average velocity from 0-20 s is not the same as instant velocity at 20 s:

6.2 More on Acceleration and Position-Time Graphs
Estimate the instant velocity of the car at:
t = 4.0 s:
t = 12.0 s:
What shape of curved line would appear on a Position
position-time graph for a car, travelling with
constant velocity, to come to a stop?
