Motion Graphs

• Motion Graphs are crucial for understanding kinematic concepts of position, velocity, and acceleration over time.
• Three primary types of motion graphs: displacement-time graphs (s-t), velocity-time graphs (v-t), and acceleration-time graphs (a-t).
• In s-t graphs, position is plotted against time; the graph’s slope indicates instantaneous velocity and the curve’s area shows total distance travelled.
• In v-t graphs, velocity is plotted against time; the graph’s slope signifies instantaneous acceleration and the curve’s area represents change in displacement.
• In a-t graphs, acceleration is plotted against time; the curve’s area signifies the change in velocity.
• Mastery in interpreting and drawing motion graphs is crucial for understanding Kinematics and motion in real-world situations.
