The velocity time graphs give all three variables for motion–velocity which can be read off at any time. Area is displacement and gradient is acceleration.

Revise how acceleration relates to speed or velocity and distance and how to carry out calculations as part of BBC Bitesize Scotland National 5 Physics.

(d) An object is moving in positive direction till time t 1, and then turns back with the same negative acceleration. In a V-T graph, the area under the curve represents the displacement over a ...
