This section covers the following syllabus (Physics 5059) requirements.
plot and interpret a displacement-time graph and a velocity-time graph
deduce from the shape of a displacement-time graph when a body is:
(i) at rest
(ii) moving with uniform velocity
(iii) moving with non-uniform velocity
deduce from the shape of a velocity-time graph when a body is:
(i) at rest
(ii) moving with uniform velocity
(iii) moving with uniform acceleration
(iv) moving with non-uniform acceleration
calculate the area under a velocity-time graph to determine the displacement travelled for motion with uniform velocity or uniform acceleration
