Gradient on velocity-time graph represents

Acceleration

Steeper gradient on v-t graph means

Greater acceleration

Negative gradient on v-t graph indicates

Deceleration (slowing down)

Horizontal line on v-t graph means

Constant velocity (steady speed)

Line at 0 velocity on v-t graph means

Object is stationary

Area under line on v-t graph represents

Distance travelled

Calculate area under straight lines on v-t graph using

Geometry (rectangles or triangles)

Best method for distance with curved line on v-t graph

Count the squares under the curve

Curved line on v-t graph indicates

Acceleration is changing

When to calculate average speed

When speed changes during motion

How to find average speed

Total distance travelled ÷\div total time taken
