    • Acceleration
      The change in velocity of an object over a given time
    • Calculating acceleration
      Acceleration (m/s^2) = Change in velocity (m/s) / Time (s)
    • Velocity-time graph
      • Gradient of graph = Acceleration
      • Horizontal line = Constant velocity
      • Upward slope = Acceleration
      • Downward slope = Deceleration
    • Displacement from velocity-time graph
      Total area under graph = Displacement
