and turn a disp./time graph into a velocity/time graph?

I need to know how i use the slopes on the curves and onstraight lines ( going up or down)

  1. I had tried few online tutoring website and found transwebtutors.com quite interesting,

    you may try this one


  2. if the segments on the disp vs time graph are straight lines, you merely measure the slope of those lines; the velocity is the slope of the line

    so if the disp vs time graph shows a straight line of slope 3 between say t=0 and t=4, then you know the object had a constant speed of 3 units between t=0 and t=4;

    if the disp vs time graph is curved, then you need to find the slope of the tangent line to the disp vs time curve at each point; the slope of this tangent line is the instantaneous speed at the time, and with several such measurements you can construct your v vs t graph
