and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. To find the distance travelled, look at the area under the graph. In the first 10 seconds this is the area of the triangle, ½ × 10 s × 40 m/s = 200 m.

It is the amount that velocity changes per unit time. The change in velocity can be calculated using the equation: acceleration (\(\text{a}\)) is measured in metres per second squared (m/s 2 ...
