gradient = \( \frac {\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}} = \frac {\text{change in speed}}{\text{change in time}}\) \( = \frac {\text{change in metres per second ...
Speed-time graphs show speed on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The gradient of a speed-time graph represents acceleration because: gradient = \( \frac {\text{change in y} ...
