Uniform Acceleration

Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time.Units are ms-2
Acceleration is a vector quantitydeceleration = negative acceleration so gradient is negative and line slopes downwards.
Acceleration from a Distance-Time Graph
Acceleration from a distance or displacement time graph - gradient is velocity. Gradient changes so velocity changes.positive acceleration:negative acceleration (deceleration):Acceleration from a Velocity-Time GraphAcceleration is change in velocity per unit time.Units are ms-2Acceleration is a vector quantity
Uniform Acceleration
acceleration=change in velocity
   time
Rearranging gives:

v = u + a t
