Can you:

  • Identify a motion based on a d-t or v-t graph
  • Describe the changing motions of the different segments in a d-t or v-t graph
  • Convert different graphs of motion (given one of d-t or v-t graph, draw the proper corresponding d-t/v-t/a-t graphs with sample calculations)
  • Draw d-t/v-t/a-t graphs of different types of motion with constant acceleration
    • Speeding up/Slowing down/Constant velocity in the positive or negative directions.
