This document provides an overview of kinematics of rectilinear motion. It defines key concepts like displacement, distance, speed, velocity, acceleration. It describes equations for uniform and accelerated rectilinear motion as well as vertical motion. It discusses using position-time, velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs to represent rectilinear motion and determine values like displacement, velocity and acceleration. Sample problems are provided to demonstrate applying the concepts and equations.
