The v/t and a/t graphs as well as the s/t graph we have already seen give us a lot of information about the movement of bodies. In a Uniformly Accelerated Movement velocity varies proportionally to time, so that the v/t curve is a straight line. In this type of movement acceleration is constant, so that the a/t graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
To summarise, and comparing the graphs of Uniform Movement and Uniformly Accelerated Movement:
