Velocity, Acceleration and Displacement time graphs.

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on creating velocity, acceleration, and displacement time graphs for two motion scenarios: an object accelerating from rest to 5.0 m/s and a car accelerating to 60 km/hr before stopping. Participants emphasize using the SUVAT equations to determine the shapes of the graphs, noting that acceleration remains constant until the object reaches its maximum velocity, after which it becomes zero. The acceleration vs. time graph is a horizontal line at a constant value during acceleration, while the displacement vs. time graph is quadratic due to the relationship between displacement and velocity. Ultimately, the focus is on visualizing the graphs rather than performing detailed calculations, as the data provided is insufficient for numerical solutions.

so how do you suggest i solve them?
They can't be solved on paper. The data given is not sufficient. Just draw the shapes and that would be sufficient.
