The motion of a falling body can be analyzed graphically as in Fig.1. Draw a vertical line and take a certain distance AB, from the top-of-the-line A, as the distance the body falls the first second, equal to 1/2g.

Measure from B twice this distance to represent the velocity gained during the first second. Make this a heavy line and extend a light line to C, a point 1/2g farther on. Then BС will be made up of two parts, one of which represents the distance passed over because of the velocity gained during the first second, and the other the additional distance the body falls because of gravity acting on it for the second. Points D, E, etc., may be found in a similar manner
