 Scalars are values that have size but no direction. Distance and speed are scalars.

 Vectors are quantities that have size and direction. Displacement, velocity and acceleration are
vectors.

 A velocity-time graph shows how velocity changes over time. Time is plotted on the horizontal
axis and velocity is plotted on the vertical axis.

 Acceleration is the gradient of a line segment on a velocity-time graph

Acceleration= 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

 Negative acceleration is called deceleration or retardation.

Deceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.
 The area under a velocity-time graph represents the displacement(distance) of the object by the
end of the movement
