Linear Motion Graphs

Linear motion graph

Linear motion graphs are used to present information and data regarding a motion

Displacement-time graph

t(s)	Explanation	Velocity
A-B	The gradient is positive and uniform	Uniform
B-C	The gradient is zero	Zero
C-D	The gradient is negative and uniform	Negative and uniform Moving in the opposite direction

Velocity-time graph

Description of motion | Motion in one dimension | Siyavula

t(s)	Explanation	Acceleration
0-2	The velocity increases uniformly	Uniform
2-4	The gradient is zero Velocity is constant	Zero
4-6	The velocity decreases uniformly	Negative or uniformly deceleration
