Does anyone Know what it means when you have an x intercept on a displacement graph velocity graph and acceleration graph. And also what the turning points on those graphs mean. Any notes on these graphs will be useful thanks guys!

It's like a graph sketching.

Displacement = normal function

Velocity = 1st derivative

Acc = 2nd derivative

So max/min displacement is when Velocity = 0
Point of inflexion is when Acc = 0

well, on displacement it probably means a change in direction

velocity graph, maximum velocity is at the turning point

same for acceleration
I think it could be minimum or horizontal pt of inflexion
