Acceleration vs. time graphs tell us about an objectâs velocity in the same way that velocity vs. time graphs tell us about an objectâs displacement. The change in velocity in a given time interval is equal to the area under the graph during that same time interval.
Specifically, gravity increases a falling object's velocity by 9.8 meters per second (m/s) with every passing second. (Whereas velocity is measured in m/s, acceleration is measured in meters per second squared, or m/s 2 .) How does this constant acceleration affect the distance that an object travels over time?In this experiment you will roll a marble down a ramp to find out. Mark the distance traveled on the ramp each time. 2  Using a longer ramp, how does gravity appear to affect the velocity and acceleration of a marble as it rolls downhill? 3  Extra: Try repeating this activity with different balls, such as a rubber ball, large metal ball bearing, ping pong ball, etc.
