What will your answer be if you calculate the gradient of the line on a distance-time graph for an object?
The speed of the object.
4 of 10
What would your answer be if you calculate the gradient of the line on a velocity-time graph for an object?
The acceleration of the object.
5 of 10
What does the calculation of the area under the line between two times on a velocity-time graph give you?
The distance travelled between those times.

**TAKE CARE NOT TO CONFUSE DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS AND VELOCITY-TIME GRAPHS!!**
**ALWAYS USE THE NUMBERS FROM THE GRAPH SCALES IN ANY CALCULATIONS**
