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. Next page ...

Remember, acceleration is the same as gradient, and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. Look at the graph. The acceleration of the vehicle in the first 10 seconds is: ...

Actually, that t should really be a Δt.But let me go ahead and show the two graphs for velocity and position that go along with that same acceleration graph above. Actually, let me change the ...

The slope of the velocity graph during this time gives a vertical acceleration of 1.8 m/s 2. After that first part, the rocket slows down to so that it can stop rising. The acceleration during ...
