Given a velocity-time graph.

We can calculate acceleration by taking the slope.

The formula to calculate acceleration is


a=(v2-v1)/(t2-t1)\text{ }

The velocity-time graph will be

By calculating the area of the triangle, displacement can be calculated.

By calculating slope, acceleration can be calculated.
