Displacement-Time Graphs (Leaving Cert Physics): Flashcards

Displacement (position) vs time

Yes, shows direction as well as magnitude

Right of reference point

Left of reference point

Velocity

$\frac{s_2 - s_1}{t_2 - t_1}$

Object is stationary

Motion in positive direction

Motion in negative direction

Faster motion

Constant velocity

Changing velocity (acceleration)

Slope of tangent line at that point
