and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. To find the distance travelled, look at the area under the graph. In the first 10 seconds this is the area of the triangle, ½ × 10 s × 40 m/s = 200 m.

to the left. Speed-time graphs can be used to represent motions involving speed and uniform acceleration. Velocity-time graphs can be used to represent the motion of objects travelling in a ...
