SPEED 🚗💨
• Definition: The distance an object travels per
unit of time.
• Unit: meters per second (m/s)
• Example: A car moving at 60 km/h means it
covers 60 kilometers in one hour.
• Key Point: Speed does not include direction,
only how fast something moves.
VELOCITY ➡️
• Definition: Speed with direction.
• Unit: meters per second (m/s)
isplaceme
• Example: A plane flying north at 500 km/h nt
ime
has a velocity of 500 km/h north.
• Key Point: If the direction changes, the
velocity changes—even if speed stays the
same!
ACCELERATION ⚡⬆️
• Definition: The rate at which velocity
changes over time.
• Unit: meters per second squared (m/s²)
• Example: A bike increases speed from 0 to
10 m/s in 5 seconds.
a= 10-0/5
=2m/s^2
• Key Point: Acceleration can be positive
(speeding up) or negative (slowing down,
also called deceleration).
UNIFORMLY
ACCELERATED MOTION
Uniformly accelerated motion in the horizontal
dimension is when an object's velocity changes
at a constant rate in a straight line. This means
that the object's speed increases or decreases by the
same amount every second.
Find:
d= ?
SAMPLE PROBLEM 2
A jeepney from rest accelerates uniformly over a
time of 3.25 seconds and coverse a distance of 15 m.
Determine the acceleraton of the jeepney?
Given:
Vi= 0 m/s
d= 15m
t= 3.25 s
Find:
a= ?
ASSIGNMENT
Solve the problem:
A train accelerates to a
speed of 20m/s over a
distance of 150m. Determine
the acceleration (assume
uniformly of the train.
( a = 1.3 m/s )
