Velocity-Time Graphs
Velocity-time graphs plot the velocity against the time.

Velocity
Velocity
- Velocity is speed measured in a particular direction.
- Two objects travelling in opposite directions at a speed of 10km/h would have velocities of 10km/h and -10km/h.

Gradient and area
Gradient and area
- The gradient in a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
- The area under the graph is the total distance travelled.
- When the graph is flat the velocity is constant.
- Steeper gradients mean stronger acceleration and negative slopes mean deceleration.
