Learn how to plot and read distance-time graphs with this BBC Bitesize Maths article. ... Calculate the distance (speed × time), 20 × 2۰5 = 50. The vehicle has travelled 50 miles.

The gradient of a distance-time graph represents speed. When displaying a journey, the vertical axis will often represent the distance from a particular place rather than the distance travelled.

With this distance and time value, I can simply plug it into the kinematic equation and solve for the acceleration. This would give an acceleration of 0.1053 m/s 2 .
