h3. Graphical Representations [!copyright and waiver^SectionEdit.png!|Motion with Constant Acceleration (Graphs)] One way to graphically represent constant [acceleration] is to draw a [velocity versus time graph]. By the definition: {latex}\begin{large}\[ a = \frac{dv}{dt}\]\end{large}{latex} |
it
...
is
...
clear
...
that
...
the
...
...
is
...
equal
...
to
...
the
...
slope
...
of
...
such
...
a
...
graph,
...
so
...
that
...
if
...
the
...
...
is
...
constant,
...
the
...
...
...
...
...
will
...
necessarily
...
be
...
linear.

Another

way
...
to
...
graphically
...
represent
...
acceleration
...
is
...
to
...
note
...
that
...
the
...
equation:

}\begin{large}\[ x_{f} = x_{i} + v_{i}(t_{f}-t_{i}) + \frac{1}{2}a(t_{f}-t_{i})^{2}\]\end{large}{latex} |
implies
...
that
...
for
...
the
...
case
...
of
...
constant
...
acceleration,
...
the
...
...
...
...
...
describing
...
the
...
motion
...
will

be
...
a

parabola.
