The values on an acceleration-time graph are the gradient of the velocity-time graph. The area under an acceleration-time graph is the change in velocity.
A = constant negative accelerationB = instantaneous change in accelerationC = constant positive accelerationD= uniform increase in accelerationE = non-uniform increase in acceleration
