and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. To find the distance travelled, look at the area under the graph. In the first 10 seconds this is the area of the triangle, ½ × 10 s × 40 m/s = 200 m.

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The gradient of a velocity-time graph at a particular time gives the acceleration of the object at that time.

Editor's Note: The Hyperloop is a totally ... This says that the acceleration will be the slope of the velocity-time graph and the velocity will be the slope of the position-time graph.

Of course with a human jump, I can look at the total time off the ground ... we just have to make the graph. Here is that graph. Oh, since these are Jedi the upward acceleration and the downward ...
