help me graph my graph :(

[Omegachi]

how would i graph acceleration and velocity as function of time, on the same graph?

 

[josphII]

acceleration is the derivative (slope) of velocity, so graph velocity then at each point determine the acceleration and draw a point

On an acceleration - time graph....the area under under the graph is the velocity.

don't you mean draw a tangent line?

Yep that's what he means

LOL omegachi ... do u get all of your math help here? =)

It's the slope of the tangent, not the tangent. Don't confuse the guy.

 

[Omegachi]

thanks guys, now i understand

yea, only the problems that i don't understand

The tangent is not the acceleration over time. The slope of the tangent represents the instantaneous acceleration. This slope must be evaluated, and a point is made on the graph at the x-coordinate of tangency with the y-coordinate of this point being the value of the slope.
