Introduction to linear motion graphs

The change of location of an object along a straight line and can be described using a single spatial dimension is called linear motion. It can be uniform or non-uniform, that is, constant velocity or variable velocity. The motion of particle can be described in terms of X with time T. A very good example for linear motion is a ball throwing down and up straightly. Plotting of graphs under linear motion is called Linear motion graphs. Here we study about two types of graphs as displacement-time graph and velocity-time graph. The linear motion of graphs drawn with acceleration, velocity and displacement.

Formula and Diagram - linear motion graphs

Formula

[v =(vf - vi)/ (time)]

[D= v* t]

where [v -> ] velocity

[vf ->] final speed

[vi ->] initial speed

[D] [->] displacement

[t] [->] time
