  • Area under the line equals to the distance travelled
  • Positive acceleration means the velocity of a body is increasing
  • Deceleration or negative acceleration means the velocity of a body is decreasing
  • A curved speed time graph means changing acceleration
  • Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit of time, and a vector as it’s direction is specified
  • Gradient = y2 − y1x2 − x1=\frac{y_2\ -\ y_1}{x_2\ -\ x_1}= Acceleration (ms)2\ Acceleration\ \left(\frac{m}{s}\right)^2
