What part of the graph IS the distance?

#

And is it a nice form that you can use a formula on

nocturne bridge
#

so basically algebraically we need to find this point

#

so if we call this X

#

the acceleration is the gradient of the line so

#

v-x/t=a

#

v-x=at

#

v-at=x

#

now bc it wants distance we need to find the area under the curve

#

which is in shape of a trapezium

#

so 1/2(v+(v-at)) x T

#

so (v-1/2at) x T

#

so D = TV -1/2aT^2
