A distance-time graph, sometimes referred to as a travel graph, is a way of representing a journey. It is helpful to have prior knowledge of speed, distance and time as well as how to work out the ...

speed = gradient of distance-time graph = distance moved ÷ time taken. speed = 6 m ÷ 3 s = 2 m/s. The total distance travelled by the vehicle on the green line is 7 m.

With this distance and time value, I can simply plug it into the kinematic equation and solve for the acceleration. This would give an acceleration of 0.1053 m/s 2 .
