Linear Motion Graphs

11.2 Linear Motion Graphs
 
Linear motion graph

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

 

 
Displacement-time graph
 

Speed and Velocity

 
t(s) Explanation Velocity
\(0 - \text{t}_1\) The gradient is positive and uniform Uniform
\(\text{t}_1 - \text{t}_2\) The gradient is zero Zero
\(\text{t}_2 - \text{t}_3\) 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
