Kinematics-Motion Graphs

• Distance-Time graphs

  • A=no speed
  • B=constant speed(increase)
  • C=constant speed(decrease)
  • D=increasing speed(acceleration)
  • E=decreasing speed(deceleration)

  
• Distance-Time graph

  • in a d-t graph, the line represents the speed
• Speed-Time graph

  • A curve with increasing gradient shows increasing acceleration, while a curve with decreasing gradient shows decreasing acceleration.
• Distance in Speed-Time graph

  • The area under a speed/velocity-time graph gives the distance/displacement of the body.
