- The equation v = u + at is a linear relationship between velocity (v) and time (t) for uniform acceleration. - In a linear equation y = mx + c, 'c' is the y-intercept and 'm' is the slope. - On a velocity-time graph, the y-axis represents velocity and the x-axis represents time.
An object is moving with uniform acceleration a. Its initial velocity is u and after time t its velocity is v. The equation of its motion is v = u + at. The velocity (along y-axis) time (along x- axis) graph shall be a straight line
