Distance travelled: area under v(t) curve

If you have v(t), to find the displacement you integrate v(t) to s(t)

s(t) displacement
v(t) velocity
a(t) acceleration If v(t) and a(t) have the same sign
increasing in speed
Initial: t=0
At origin: s(t) = 0 If v(t) and a(t) have opposite signs
Stationary or reverses: v(t) = 0 decreasing in speed
Constant or max/min velocity: a(t) = 0
