Worksheet Transform

The document discusses graphs of motion for a hypothetical object moving along a straight line. It shows graphs of velocity, acceleration, and displacement over time. The velocity graph indicates the object is initially moving forward with increasing speed (accelerating), then decreasing speed while still moving forward, before stopping briefly and reversing direction to move backward while slowing down. From this, corresponding graphs of constant acceleration and changing displacement can be drawn.
