5.5.147 - Velocity-time graphs for oscillations

Be able to draw and interpret a velocity-time graph for an oscillating object and know that the gradient at a point gives the acceleration at that point.

Use - velocity-time graphs for oscillations to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - velocity-time graphs for oscillations determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - velocity-time graphs for oscillations to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Velocity-time graphs for oscillations is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
