1. If the two bodies are moving with unequal uniform velocities, then their position-time graphs must intersect
each other.
2. The kinematic equations of motion cannot be applied to circular motion or simple harmonic motion.

3. A body may have zero velocity but can still accelerate.
eg.: When an object is thrown straight up, at the highest point, its velocity is zero and acceleration is
9.8 m/s2 downward.
4. A projectile fired at an angle with horizontal returns to ground at the same angle and with the same velocity
with which it is projected.
5. In practical situation, where the friction of air comes into the play, an object thrown upward has higher time
of descent than time of ascent. i.e., tD > tA .
