Motion Type

Parameters

Initial Speed

5 m/s

Acceleration

3 m/s²

Graph Type

Key Equations

Speed v = d / t
Acceleration a = (v - u) / t
Distance s = ut + ½at²
Velocity v² = u² + 2as

Graph Shapes

📈 Uniform D-T → straight line
📈 Accelerating D-T → upward curve
📉 Decelerating D-T → flattening curve
➡️ Uniform V-T → horizontal line
📈 Accelerating V-T → straight line up
📉 Decelerating V-T → straight line down

Key Definitions

📌 Distance — total path length
📌 Displacement — shortest path
📌 Speed — distance per unit time
📌 Velocity — speed with direction
📌 Acceleration — rate of change of velocity

Slope = speed

Shape Straight line

Meaning Constant speed

Key Concepts

📍 Slope of D-T = Speed
📍 Slope of V-T = Acceleration
📍 Area under V-T = Distance
📍 Flat D-T line = At rest
📍 Curved D-T = Acceleration

Did You Know?

A cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds — that is an acceleration of about 9.3 m/s²!
