Motion Graph

 
2.2

 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
