TYPES OF MOTION
GRAPHS
1. displacement-versus-
time graph
- determination of average velocity
and instantaneous velocity
2. velocity-versus-time
graph
slope of a tangent line is the slope of the curve at that point and is equal to
instantaneous velocity
average velocity is the slope of the straight line joining the two points on the curve
corresponding to the start and the end of the time interval under consideration
v = v0 + at
• the graph of velocity-versus-time is a straight line with a slope equal to acceleration
and a y-intercept equal to v0. If v0 is zero, then the line passes through the origin.
UNIFORMLY
DECELERATED there are times that the slope of a displacement-versus-time
graph or a velocity-versus-time graph is negative
MOTION negative acceleration not necessarily means deceleration
negative acceleration means acceleration in negative direction
a body is speeding up when the acceleration and velocity are
in the same direction
