Velocity and Position by Graphical Method

Velocity and position can be calculated from the known function of acceleration as a function of time. The total area under the acceleration-time graph and the velocity-time graph gives the change in velocity and position, respectively. In the case of an airplane, its acceleration is tracked using the inertial navigation system. The pilot provid...

Velocity and displacement can be calculated from the area under the curve for the acceleration-time and velocity-time graphs, respectively.

For non-constant acceleration, the area under the acceleration-time curve is split into smaller rectangles of width,
