Horizontal axis on velocity-time graph

Time

Vertical axis on velocity-time graph

Velocity

Horizontal line on v-t graph means

Constant velocity

Upward sloping line on v-t graph means

Accelerating (speeding up)

Downward sloping line on v-t graph means

Decelerating (slowing down)

Line where v=0v=0 on v-t graph means

Stationary (not moving)

Gradient of v-t graph represents

Acceleration

Acceleration formula from v-t graph

a=ΔvΔta = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Area under v-t graph represents

Distance travelled

Steeper slope on v-t graph means

Faster acceleration/deceleration

Velocity includes these two things

Speed and direction

Methods to find distance from v-t graph

Count squares or use area formulas
