Acceleration changes the velocity with respect to time.
Do you see any change in the velocity in the graph?
 
nope no change..
 
Here's a little lesson. The slope of a velocity versus time graph is a the acceleration. Why? [tex]m = \frac{v-v_o}{t-t_o}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=a[/tex]
Similarly the slope of a position versus time graph is equal to the velocity.
 
wow thanks buddy that went right over my head..0 haha. thanks again.
