Edexcel A-Level Physics Velocity-Time Graphs

Practise Edexcel A-Level Physics velocity-time graphs by sketching sinusoidal velocity curves and linking their gradient to acceleration.

Exam points

sketch sinusoidal velocity-time graphs with calculated period and maximum velocity
derive velocity-time graphs from acceleration-time graphs using SHM phase relationships

[Maximum number: 1]

Questions 9 and 10 refer to the following information.
The graph shows how the velocity v varies with time t for an object performing simple harmonic motion.
Four graphs for the same period of time are shown below.
Which graph shows how the acceleration of the object varies with t?
