This video tutorial from Mumu Math and Science explains speed-time graphs, focusing on constant acceleration, constant speed, and constant deceleration. It covers how to calculate acceleration and deceleration rates, and how to determine distance traveled using the area under the graph. The video concludes with a reminder about the importance of kindness.
