The slope of a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration of the object. The steeper the slope of the graph the greater the acceleration. The area underneath the line in the velocity-time graph represents the total distance travelled.
ACCELERATION = FINAL VELOCITY (m/s) - INITIAL VELOCITY (m/s) (m/s2) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIME (s)
a = v - u -------- t
Acceleration: The rate at which the velocity of an object changes.
Velocity: The velocity of a moving object describes it's speed in a given direction.
