In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the displacement or acceleration of a particle moving in a straight line from its velocity–time graph.

Students will be able to

find the time periods of maximum velocity, zero velocity, and positive or negative velocity from a velocity–time graph,
understand how the velocity–time graph of a particle relates to the displacement and acceleration of that particle,
calculate the displacement of a particle by finding the area under its velocity–time graph,
find the distance traveled by a particle using its velocity–time graph,
describe the movement of a particle using its velocity–time graph.
