1. The values of displacement, velocity and acceleration of a vehicle can be deduced from graphs
representing its motion. The areas under these graphs, or the gradients of the graphs, are used.
Q v
What would not give a value for a displacement, a velocity or an acceleration? P

(a) area under a velocity-time graph (b) gradient of a displacement-time graph


R
(c) gradient of a velocity-time graph (d) gradient of an acceleration-time graph00
