Distance-time graphs show distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The gradient of a distance-time graph represents speed because gradient = \( \frac{\text{change in ...

When displaying a journey, the vertical axis will often represent the distance from a particular place rather than the distance travelled. Such graphs are known as displacement-time graphs.

One of the most basic things students do in a physics lab is to collect data and use that to build a model. Most of these models come in the form of a mathematical function. But here is the problem.

Come to lab (hopefully not late). Most likely listen to a boring (but short) lecture that seems similar to stuff that was also covered in lecture class – but it’s still confusing. Look at some new ...
