Kinematics

There are three motion graphs that describe the movements of an object as a function of time. These graphs are the displacement-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs. Three types of graphs can be used to determine the motion of an object; a curved line graph, horizontal line graph, and a diagonal line graph. <Tab/>In a displacement-time graph, a smooth curved line means that the object has a non-uniform velocity and a …showed first 75 words of 400 total…

…showed last 75 words of 400 total…is non-uniform. As mentioned earlier, acceleration-time graphs are determined through the slope of the line of best fit on a velocity-time graph. Acceleration-time graphs can be used to determine the change in velocity by the area under the line on the graph. <Tab/>Displacement-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs are very useful in showing the motion of an object. Each graph can be used to determine other graphs and other valuable information.
