Difficulty in understanding graphs in kinematics

Click For Summary
Understanding and visualizing graphs in kinematics is crucial for mastering physics concepts. To improve graph comprehension, it's recommended to provide a specific graph for targeted advice. A basic understanding of calculus can enhance the ability to interpret various graphs effectively. Engaging with others for explanations and examples can also aid in strengthening foundational knowledge. Mastering graph interpretation is essential for success in physics.

I am having a great difficulty in plotting, understanding & visualising the graphs, which is important aspect in physics. So I want some help from everyone to please show me, how to understand a given graph better & juice out everything which it wants.
I want to make my fundamental strong by understanding the graphs.
So please help!

You should give us the "given" graph if you want specific advice. At least post a link.
 
It's helpful to have simple understanding of calculus with many graphs.
 

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
