Interpret the different types of motion from the linear motion graphs to determine distance, displacement, velocity, average velocity and acceleration

Linear Motion Graphs

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
