Question

Hi, I'm having trouble to draw a graph when I just have one graph which could be postion vs. time, velocity vs. time, or acceleration vs. time to draw other two graph. I mean I know when the velocity is increasing at a constant rate, then the acceleration is constant. And when the velocity is decreasing the acceleration is negative and the velocity is zero the acceleration is also zero. But I can't draw position vs. time graph by just looking at velocity vs time graph. could you explain the relationships for me?


Thanks

Explanation / Answer

Start with position vs time. You can determine velocity as the slope of that graph, and velocity is 0 if it is a horizontal line. Now you will have the velocity vs time graph. The slope of the velocity vs time graph is the acceleration during that time. So basically, each graph is related by slope. So start with position vs time.
