The velocity time graphs give all three variables for motion–velocity which can be read off at any time. Area is displacement and gradient is acceleration.

Unit 2 Segment D: Graphing Motion We stop by a food truck to investigate three different ways to graph motion: position versus time, velocity versus time, and acceleration versus time.

Learn and revise motion in a straight line, acceleration and motion graphs with BBC Bitesize Combined Science AQA Synergy study guide.

With the standard triangular profile the acceleration increases or decreases almost instantaneously, as shown in the acceleration and jerk profile graph at time 0.0, 0.5, and 1.0.
