Position-time graphs show the relationship between an object's position and time. They display how an object's position changes over a specific period.
Imagine you are taking a road trip and recording your distance from home at different times. A position-time graph would be like plotting those distances on a graph, showing how far you are from home at each point in time.
Velocity-Time Graphs: Velocity-time graphs show the relationship between an object's velocity and time. They display how an object's velocity changes over a specific period.
Acceleration-Time Graphs: Acceleration-time graphs show the relationship between an object's acceleration and time. They display how an object's acceleration changes over a specific period.
Displacement: Displacement refers to the change in position of an object. It is calculated by subtracting the initial position from the final position of the object.
