Uniformly Accelerated Linear Motion: Motion 2

Physics 1: Section 3.2

Position vs time graph: parabola

Negative slope → negative velocity

Decreasing slope → velocity becoming more negative

Concave down parabola → constant, negative acceleration

Velocity vs time graph: straight line

Constant, negative slope → constant, negative acceleration

Acceleration vs time graph: horizontal line

Constant, negative value → constant, negative acceleration

For motion in the positive direction or negative direction:

Speeding up → acceleration in the same direction as the velocity

Slowing down → acceleration in the opposite direction of the velocity
