Can someone please suggest me some books on graphs of Motion?
Thanks!

I'm not really aware of any book that are about "graphs of Motion".
But googling it yielded this hypertextbook: http://physics.info/motion-graphs/
Cheers!
The basic principles of graphing motion include understanding and using the variables of time and position, as well as the concepts of velocity and acceleration. These variables are represented on a graph by the x and y-axis, with time being plotted on the x-axis and position or displacement on the y-axis.
A position-time graph shows the relationship between an object's position and time. The slope of the graph represents the object's velocity, with a steeper slope indicating a faster velocity. The shape of the graph can also indicate the object's direction of motion, with a positive slope representing motion in the positive direction and a negative slope representing motion in the negative direction.
Speed is the rate at which an object is moving, while velocity is the rate at which an object is moving in a specific direction. This means that an object can have the same speed but different velocities if it is moving in different directions. Velocity also takes into account the object's change in position over time, while speed does not.
A velocity-time graph shows the relationship between an object's velocity and time. The slope of the graph represents the object's acceleration, with a steeper slope indicating a larger acceleration. Additionally, the area under the graph can also be used to determine an object's displacement, which can then be used to calculate the object's acceleration.
Some recommended books for learning about graphs of motion include "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Paul A. Tipler and Gene Mosca, "Fundamentals of Physics" by David Halliday and Robert Resnick, and "Conceptual Physics" by Paul G. Hewitt. These books cover the basics of motion and graphing in an easy-to-understand manner with plenty of examples and practice problems.
