Velocity-time graphs show velocity on the vertical axis. Acceleration is still represented by the gradient. Key fact. The gradient of speed-time and velocity-time graphs represent acceleration.

The x 0 is the starting postion (at t = 0) and v 0 is the velocity at time zero. So, for this case, ... distance should be proportional to time squared. Let's make another graph.

The slope of the velocity-time graph is the average acceleration. You can see the fitting equation gives an average acceleration of 6 x 10 4 m/s 2. Impressive ...
