Homework Statement


the task is to explain how to find the velocity vs time graph from an acceleration vs time graph and how to find a displacement vs time graph from the resulting velocity vs time graph, without using an intergral.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


i know that area must be used, and how to find the area, but i don't know how that is supposed to produce a graph

Easy-peasy …

the integral of a function equals the area between the curve of the function and the horizontal axis (and areas below count as negative) …

so just work out how the area depends on time, and then do a rough graph. :smile:
