In the image above, the red line is the position vs time graph and the blue line is an approximated slope for the line at t=2.5 seconds. For constant velocity motion, the slope gives the constant velocity, the average velocity, and the instantaneous velocity at every point.

The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared. Acceleration can be caused by a change in the magnitude or the direction of the velocity, or both. Instantaneous acceleration is the slope of the velocity-versus-time graph.

Questions such as, “How long does a foot race take?” and “What was the runner’s speed?” cannot be answered without an understanding of other concepts. In this section we add definitions of time, velocity, and speed to expand our description of motion.

If the graph line is horizontal, like the line after time = 5 seconds in Graph 2 in the Figure below, then the slope is zero and so is the velocity. The steeper the line is, the greater the slope of the line is and the faster the object’s motion is changing.

The sprinter’s velocity increases for the first 4 seconds of the race, it remains constant for the next 3 seconds, and it decreases during the last 3 seconds after she crosses the finish line.
