Understanding Speed-Time Graphs

The speed-time graph shows the relationship between an object's speed and time, with the area under the graph representing the distance traveled. The gradient of the graph indicates the rate of change of speed, whether it is constant, accelerating, or decelerating. Positive gradient means acceleration, zero gradient means constant speed, and negative gradient means deceleration.

The speed time graph.

The area under the graph represents the distance traveled.

The gradient of the graph represents rate of chance of speed (acceleration).

speed

Constant speed

B deceleration C time

acceleration

0
OA is positive Gradient of AB is zero BC is negative Acceleration (positive)

Acceleration = 0 (stationary) Acceleration (negative)
