Wanna learn kinematics graphs.
Must Study this :D
i have information about this... but is in spanish... :(
well when your dealing with kinematic graphs, especially one of simple linear motion I find it easy to think of the graphs in a certain order. You have 1) position 2)velocity 3)acceleration, you could go further but I'll stick with this. Now when you find the slope of a graph (derive) you move down a step. For instance, if you start with a position graph and you look at the slop of the line you get velocity, same applies in velocity to acceleration. If you look at the area under the curve(integrate) you go back a step. So if you have a velocity graph and you take the area under the curve you get position, same for acceleration to velocity. Getting the area under the curve for position gives you nothing meaningful and the slope of the acceleration is not useful unless your in a class that deals with the next step
Sorry for the long post. Also, in case you weren't aware, a position graph consists of position vs time graph, velocity is a velocity vs time graph, and acceleration is an acceleration vs time graph. All of which have time on the x-axis.
