To calculate the distance an object has travelled using a velocity v time graph you must calculate the area under the graph.

You would firstly divide the graph into rectangles, squares and triangles.

The area under a triangle is the distance an object moved while it was accelerating or decelerating. To calculate the distance travelled by an object while it was changing velocity, you would use the equation base x height divided by 2.

The area under a rectangle or square is the distance an object moved while it was moving at a constant velocity. To calculate the distance travelled by an object while it was travelling at a constant velocity, you would use the equation base x height.
