Q. Difference between x-t curve and v-t curve?\xa0Q. Can x-t curve give acceleration graph?\xa0 |
| Answer» x-t curve gives the position time graph which tells the posistion of the body at any instant. The derviative or slope of the tangent to the curve on x-t curve gives velocity at that instant. On\xa0v-t cuve similarily if tangent is drawn at a point acceleration at that instant will be the slope of the tangent drawn at that point.x-t curve cannot give acceleration graph however the slopes at two points on the graph gives speed at two different times. From this avg acceleration can be calculated.For acceleration graph, acceleration at all instants needs to be claculated.Slope at t1 and t2 be v1 and v2\xa0Then acceleration between these two periods is (v2 -v1)\xa0/(t2-t1) | |
