The motion of any moving object can be described by its speed– time graph. Data from the graph can be used to calculate acceleration, the distance travelled and the average speed for the motion.

With this distance and time value, I can simply plug it into the kinematic equation and solve for the acceleration. This would give an acceleration of 0.1053 m/s 2.
