Learn the difference between distance, displacement, speed and velocity, and how to calculate distance, speed and acceleration.

Calculate the total displacement of the object - whose motion is represented by the velocity–time graph below. Here, the displacement can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded ...

The x 0 is the starting postion (at t = 0) and v 0 is the velocity at time zero. So, for this case, ... But if you calculate the acceleration without the graph, ...
