Physics Form 4: Chapter 2 -Graph of Motion

Displacement-Time Graph:

Gradient of the graph is equal to velocity Gradient = 0 , velocity = 0. Gradient is negative and constant, hence velocity is uniform and in opposite direction. Gradient is increasing, hence velocity is increasing.

Velocity-Time Graph:

The gradient of the velocity-time graph gives acceleration. Gradient = 0, hence velocity is constant but acceleration = 0. The area below the velocity-time graph gives a value of the object'sdisplacement.
