-Sometimes, you will want to graph the velocity of the object as a function of time. Again, you have to graph a single component at a time. So, let's go back to the example of a car moving with constant velocity. In that case, we'd expect the velocity vs time graph to be a flat line taking on the value of the slope. In the graph below, we find that is the case.

In the graph linked here [[https://msuperl.org/interactive/mechanics/CV_velocity_vs_time.html|Constant velocity, velocity vs. time]], we find that is the case.

 This is precisely how one defines a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum|Riemann sum]] to determine the area under a function. This area is highlighted in light blue, and is precisely equal to the difference in the initial and final position in the first graph (120 m). The car travels at 12 m/s for 10 s. Notice the displacement is positive because the area under the curve is measured from the function to y=0.
-For situations where the object does no move with constant velocity, the area under the velocity vs time graph is still the displacement, it just might be slightly more complicated to calculate. For example, here's the velocity vs time graph for when the car moves under a [[:183_notes:constantf|constant force]].

 The triangular area (highlighted in light blue) under the curve is the displacement of the car in the x-direction. Notice it's positive because it's above the y-axis. "Area under the curve" actually refers the the area between the function and y=0. If the plot is below the y=0, then that part of the area is negative.
