What does the area under a velocity versus time graph give?

1. Velocity multiplied by time gives a change in position, and area on a graph is a product of the two axes. 2. The area under the velocity versus time graph therefore gives the displacement. 3. The gradient of the same graph gives the acceleration, which is a different reading. 4. Area below the time axis counts as displacement in the negative direction. _Source: Siyavula Physical Sciences Grade 10 (Everything Science, CC BY 4.0), Chapter 21: Motion in one dimension_
