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.

On the graph of velocity vs. time, Δv/Δt is the slope of the curve. If the curve is straight, the acceleration is constant. If the curve isn't straight we have to do the same trick we did before with ...

If we have a speed-time or velocity-time graph, the distance travelled can be estimated by finding the area. Example. The velocity of a sledge as it slides down a hill is shown in the graph.

At one point in the past, I was a teenager. Hard to believe, I know, but it's true. During that time, I thought about teenager things. In particular, I recall thinking about and wanting a super ...

The area enclosed by the velocity-time graph, the time-axis and the two coordinates at time instants t 1 to t 2 gives the distance moved by the particle in the time-interval from t 1 to t 2.
