Linear Motion Graphs (1)

Science

Not quite remember

I easily remember

The purpose of using linear motion graphs

To present information and data regarding a motion

Type of linear motion graphs (1)

Displacement-time graph

Types of linear motion graphs (2)

Velocity-time graph

The use of displacement-time graph

To show the displacement of an object changing with time

Example of displacement-time graph

Gradient and velocity of OA

- The gradient of OA is positive and uniform - Its velocity is uniform

Gradient and velocity of AB

- The gradient of AB is zero - Its velocity is zero

Gradient and velocity of BC

- The gradient of BC is positive and uniform - Its velocity is uniform

Gradient and velocity of CD

- The gradient of CD is negative and uniform - Its velocity is negative and uniform, that is moving in the opposite direction

Uses of velocity-time graphs

Allows the displacement , velocity and acceleration of an object in motion to be determined
