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.

OK, let's do a simple experiment and use a graph to find a mathematical model. Constant Acceleration We are going to measure distance and time for an accelerating object and use that to find the ...
