    How to find velocity from an acceleration versus time graph??

    I have an... a vs t graph, how do i find the velocity at a given time ex: t=5.0

    Ask yourself, what is the definition of acceleration.

    Does a = dV/dt help??

    It helps a bit if you rearrange things.

    a = dV/dt

    dV = a*dt

    V = ∫a dt
