 The motion is in the positive direction and so the slope of

the tangent to the curve (the velocity) positive if the curve is
increasing.
 The motion is in the negative direction and so the slope of
the tangent to the curve (the velocity) negative if the curve is
decreasing.
 The velocity vanished at the local maximum and minimum
point to the curve and hence the direction of motion is
reversed.
 The acceleration is positive if the curve is convex downward
and the acceleration is negative if the curve is convex upward.
 The acceleration vanished at the inflection point.

 The motion is in positive direction if the curve lies above

x-axis , so the velocity is positive.
 The motion is in negative direction if the curve lies below
x-axis , so the velocity is positive.
 The velocity vanished when the curve intersects x-axis and
the direction of motion reversed.
 The acceleration is positive if the slope of the tangent to the
curve positive , and the curve is increasing.
 The acceleration is negative if the slope of the tangent to
the curve negative , and the curve is decreasing.

 The acceleration vanished at the local maximum and

minimum points to the curve.
 The velocity is increasing if the curve above x-axis and its
slope is positive or below x-axis and its slope is negative
𝒗𝒂 > 𝟎
 The velocity is decreasing if the curve above x-axis and its
slope is negative or below x-axis and its slope is positive
𝒗𝒂 > 𝟎
 The displacement equals the area under the curve and we
can calculate it by using integration.

 The acceleration is positive if the curve lies

above x-axis.
 The acceleration is negative if the curve lies
below x-axis.
 The acceleration vanished where the curve
intersects x-axis.
 The change of velocity ∆𝒗 equal the area
under the curve and we can calculate it by
using integration
