Motion Graph

Displacement - time (s-t) graph

Gradient = velocity

Velocity - time (v-t) graph

Gradient = acceleration
Area under the graph = displacement @ distance

gradient=0,

so velocity=0

gradient=0,

so acceleration=0 or velocity constant

gradient constant,

so velocity constant

gradient constant,

so acceleration constant

gradient increasing,

so velocity increasing

gradient increasing,

so acceleration increasing

gradient decreasing,

so velocity decreasing

gradient decreasing,

so acceleration decreasing
