For uniform motion
Average speed = | average velocity | = | instantaneous velocity

Important Points About 1D Motion
• Distance ≥ | displacement | and Average speed ≥ | average velocity |
• If distance > | displacement | it implies that at least at one point in path velocity is zero.
Velocity-Time Graph
S.No. Condition Graph
1. Moving with a constant velocity
If a body thrown upwards crosses a point in time t1 and t2 respectively then height of point h = 1/2 g1t2 Maximum
1
height H = g ( t1 + t2 )
2
8
A body thrown upwards, downwards and horizontally with same speed takes time t1, t2 and t3 respectively to reach
1
the ground then t3 = t1t2 and height from where the particle was thrown is H = gt1t2
