If an x-t graph is a position-time graph, velocity is the slope of the line on the graph.
It is the downward gradient of the graph.

Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time(derivative of velocity with respect to time). If you have a graph or chart of velocity values vs time, then you can calculate (change in velocity) / (change in time). This is the slope of the graph at a specific point in time.Mass, along with acceleration determines force.
The area between the graph and the x-axis is the distance moved. If the velocity is constant the v vs t graph is a straight horizontal line. The shape of the area under the graph is a rectangle. For constant velocity, distance = V * time. Time is the x-axis and velocity is the y-axis. If the object is accelerating, the velocity is increasing at a constant rate. The graph is a line whose slope equals the acceleration. The shape of the graph is a triangle. The area under the graph is ½ * base * height. The base is time, and the height is the velocity. If the initial velocity is 0, the average velocity is final velocity ÷ 2. Distance = average velocity * time. Distance = (final velocity ÷ 2) * time, time is on the x-axis, and velocity is on the y-axis. (final velocity ÷ 2) * time = ½ time * final velocity ...½ base * height = ½ time * final velocity Area under graph = distance moved Most velocity graphs are horizontal lines or sloping lines.
A velocity time graph is still a velocity time graph - no matter the degree of detail that you look at it.
First, note that velocity is a vector quantity. This means it has a magnitude (the speed) as well as a direction. The magnitude of the velocity is the difference in position divided by difference in time. Hopefully, the direction should be evident from the graph.
take the slope of every change in the velocity time graph and plot it
Your acceleration vs. Time graph is the slope of your velocity vs. time graph
The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.
The product of velocity and time yields distance travelled if the velocity is constant for the time in question. If velocity is not constant, one must first calculate the average velocity over a given time period before multiplying it by the time involved.
