17. Graphs for UALM

These are the graphs for a body moving from rest ( vi = 0 m/s) and from initial position = 0 m (from the origin of the frame of reference), with constant acceleration= 2 m/s2.

 Position-time graph:

The position-time graph in a uniformly accelerated motion is a parabola, that does not necessarily have to start from the origin.



 Velocity-time graph:

We can guess that the position-time graph for a uniformly accelerated linear motion is a straight inclined line.

Remember that UALM has constant acceleration, the value of the velocity changes at the same rate.
