Uniformly Accelerated Motion

This document discusses kinematic equations for uniformly accelerated motion. It defines uniform and accelerated motion and introduces the three kinematic equations relating displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. Examples are provided to demonstrate solving problems using the appropriate equation given initial conditions like initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time.

the conditions under which the
equations can be applied.

3. Solve problems on uniformly


accelerated motion.
UNIFORMLY
ACCELERATED
MOTION
Uniformly means that something does not change.

In many cases, the acceleration of an object does not change


over time. It remains constant.

When an object is moving at constant acceleration along a


straight line, the motion of the object is describe to be
uniformly accelerated.
Kinematic Equations of Motion
Motion in a straight line is said to be
uniform if the object moves at a constant
speed, covering equal distances in equal
intervals of time. In contrast, motion is
said to be uniformly accelerated if the
object changes speed at a constant rate.

These equations are the bases for other


equations for the different types of
uniformly accelerated motion.

To solve problems, take


note of the given
information in the
problem. Choose the
equation which make the
identified “given”
sufficient.
Sample Problem
1. A car starts from rest and uniformly speeds up. It
reaches a speed of 5.0 m/s in 10 seconds. What is
the acceleration? How far is it from the origin
after the given time interval?

Given:
vi = 0
vf = 5.0 m/s
t = 10 s

Find: a and d
2. How far can an object travel in 3.0
s., accelerating at 1.0 m/s2 [forward], if
its initial velocity is 5.0 m/s [forward]?
Given: Formula: d = Vi t + at2
t = 3.0 s 2
a= 1.0 m/s2
Solution:
Vi = 5.0 m/s d = (5.0 m/s) (3.0 s) + (1.0 m/s2)(3.0 s) 2
2
Find: d
d= 19.5 m forward
3. A car accelerates uniformly from 0 to
20 m/s in 11.5 seconds. What is the
acceleration of the car in m/s2?
Given: Formula: a = Vf - Vi
Vi = 0 m/s t
Vf = 20 m/s Solution: a = 20 m/s - 0 m/s
t = 11.5 s 11.5 s
a = 1.74 m/s2
Find: a
4. From rest, a car accelerated at 8 m/s2 for
10 seconds. What is the velocity of the car at
the end of the 10 seconds?

Given: Formula: Vf = Vi + at
Vi = 0
Solution:
a= 8 m/s2
Vf = (8 m/s2)(10 s)
t = 10 s
Vf = 80 m/s
Find: Vf
