To understand motion is to understand nature - Leonardo Da Vinci
Types of Motion
- Simple Harmonic motion - motion that is constantly being accelerated towards a midpoint (e.g. a swinging pendulum).
- Linear motion - motion which follows a straight linear path, and whose displacement is exactly the same as its trajectory.
- Reciprocation (i.e. vibration)
- Brownian motion (i.e. the random movement of particles)
- Circular motions (e.g. the electrons of atoms)

Well friends , as you all are familiar with kinematics , it is the science of describing the motion of objects using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs, and equations. The goal of any study of kinematics is to develop sophisticated mental models which serve to describe (and ultimately, explain) the motion of real-world objects.
Guys , check this site -> www.physicsclassrom.com for clearance of basic concepts of accelration , displacement , scalars, vectors , time , speed , velocity and etc.By now you must all be clear with formulae derivations and definitions...etc...all that stuff.Now , whats the real concern of this artilce is the representation of the various real life kinematic situations in graphical plottations.




| Positive Velocity Constant Velocity | Positive Velocity Changing Velocity (acceleration) |

Carefully look at this friends .The object represented by the graph on the right is traveling faster than the object represented by the graph on the left.The principle of slope can be used to extract relevant motion characteristics from a position vs. time graph; as the slope goes, so goes the velocity.
| Slow, Rightward (+) Constant Velocity | Fast, Rightward (+) Constant Velocity |
|  |
Here ,the object represented by the graph on the right is traveling faster than the object represented by the graph on the left.
| Slow, Leftward (?) Constant Velocity | Fast, Leftward (?) Constant Velocity |

As a matter of fact , the slope of a position vs. time graph reveals pertinent information about an object's velocity. For example, a small slope means a small velocity; a negative slope means a negative velocity; a constant slope (straight line) means a constant velocity; a changing slope (curved line) means a changing velocity. Thus the shape of the line on the graph (straight, curving, steeply sloped, mildly sloped, etc.) is descriptive of the object's motion.
Hereby check your understanding guys 


1. Consider the graph at the right. The object whose motion is represented by this graph is ... (include all that are true):
a. moving in the positive direction.
b. moving with a constant velocity.
c. moving with a negative velocity.
d. slowing down.
e. changing directions.
f. speeding up.
g. moving with a positive acceleration.
h. moving with a constant acceleration.
The position vs. time graph for a free-falling object is shown below. Hey wow wow wow....

I how can I forget my fav site
www.hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Here is your ultimate brain storm ....I mean clearance of concepts.
A considerable amount of information about the motion can be obtained by examining the slope of the various graphs. The slope of the graph of position as a function of time is equal to the velocity at that time, and the slope of the graph of velocity as a function of time is equal to the acceleration. |

A considerable amount of information about the motion can be obtained by examining the slope of the various motion graphs. The slope of the graph of position as a function of time is equal to the velocity at that time, and the slope of the graph of velocity as a function of time is equal to the acceleration.
In this example where the initial position and velocity were zero, the height of the position curve is a measure of the area under the velocity curve. The height of the position curve will increase so long as the velocity is constant. As the velocity becomes negative, the position curve drops as the net positive area under the velocity curve decreases. Likewise the height of the velocity curve is a measure of the area under the acceleration curve. The fact that the final velocity is zero is an indication that the positive and negative contributions were equal.
Guys and gals , I know this may seem pretty simpler to you all but I suggest you to check this physicsclassroom .com site and of course you have huge thick books to tease your brains .I hope you liked this topic guys ...well its basically for the biginners .
