MOTION IN ONE DIMENSION
GRAPHS
1. Displacement-time graph :
1) Slope of straight line gives velocity
2) Smooth curves represents uniform acceleration
3) Zigzag curve represents non-uniform acceleration

2. Velocity-time graph :
1) Slope gives the acceleration.
2) Area under the graph gives the distance travelled
3) Curve represents non-uniform acceleration.
4) Straight line represents uniform acceleration.
