average speed =distance travelled / time taken
On a distance time graph what is the gradient equal to?
speed
On a displacement time graph what is the gradient equal to? 
Velocity
Instantaneous speed is the speed over a very short interval of time
displacement is distance in a given direction
distance is the length travelled
velocity is speed in a given direction
average velocity = change in displacement / time
what is the gradient of a distance time graph? 
velocity
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
acceleration is a vector quantity
what is the gradient of a velocity time graph?
acceleration
what can be determined by the area under the line of a velocity time graph?
displacement
