===Example Calculations===
====Calculating Acceleration====
: The [[acceleration ]] can be calculated from a '''velocity-time graph''' by reading the [[graph]] and using the equation <math>a=\frac{v-u}{t}</math>.

: The [[distance]] travelled can be calculated from a '''velocity-time graph''' by breaking the [[graph]] into simple shapes and finding the [[area]] of those shapes. This may use the equations <math>a = b \times h</math> for rectangular shapes and <math>a = \frac{b \times h}{2}</math> for triangular shapes.
