Start with a worksheet or a drill — the meter fills as you prove each skill.

Ways to study

Learn the ideas

Short interactive lessons: drive the car, play the graphs and see why slope is speed and area is displacement.

The three big ideas

Shape describes the motion, slope gives the rate, area gives the displacement.

02468100246810Time (s)Displacement (m)Δt = 4 sΔd = 8 mgradient = +2 m/s
D–T: gradient = velocityv=Δd/Δtv = \Delta d / \Delta t. Flat line → at rest. Down-slope → moving in the negative direction.

V–T: gradient = accelerationa=Δv/Δta = \Delta v / \Delta t. Flat line → constant velocity (not rest!). Negative slope ≠ negative velocity.
