How do I draw a velocity vs time graph and a position vs time graph if I'm a given a acceleration vs time graph ?
Thank you :D
Thank you :D

An acceleration-velocity-position graph, also known as a motion graph, is a graphical representation of the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and position of an object over time. It shows how the motion of an object changes over time and can help us understand the motion and behavior of objects.
Acceleration is represented by the slope of the velocity-time graph. It is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. A steeper slope indicates a higher acceleration, while a flatter slope indicates a lower acceleration.
The shape of an acceleration-velocity-position graph can tell us about the type of motion an object is undergoing. A horizontal line on the position-time graph indicates a constant velocity, while a curved line indicates an acceleration. A straight line on the velocity-time graph indicates a constant acceleration, while a curved line indicates a changing acceleration.
Velocity can be calculated by finding the slope of the position-time graph, while acceleration can be calculated by finding the slope of the velocity-time graph. The units for velocity are distance divided by time (m/s), and the units for acceleration are velocity divided by time (m/s^2).
Yes, an object can have a constant acceleration and changing velocity. This can happen when the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, causing the object to speed up, or in the opposite direction, causing the object to slow down. However, the magnitude of the acceleration must remain constant for this to occur.
