Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM)

Uniformly accelerated motion refers to motion where the acceleration is constant. It occurs when an object is speeding up or slowing down at a steady rate, so that the change in velocity per time is uniform. Examples include free fall near Earth's surface and cars braking at a constant rate. Kinematics equations can be used to analyze uniformly accelerated motion by relating the object's initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time. The motion is idealized and assumes no external forces besides the single acceleration.

Uniformly Accelerated Motion
Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM) is motion
of an object where the acceleration is constant. In
other words, the acceleration remains uniform; the
acceleration is equal to a number and that number
does not change as a function of time.
ACCELERATION
What does it mean?

Let’s say the car has an acceleration of .


This is an example of Uniformly
Accelerated Motion
a=

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity/speed.

Time (s) 0 1 2 3 4

Velocity (m/s)
0 +4 4 +4 8 +4 12 +416
Base on those values, the increase in velocity in
each second is constant. Thus, the acceleration
is UNIFORM

How can we determine the acceleration
of motion?

We need to determine the following quantities:

1. Velocity or Speed
2. Time of travel

Acceleration (a)

a
With an S.I Unit of meters-per-second squared ()
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION
IS CONSIDERED AN IDEALIZED
MOTION.

To achieve this, only one


and no other external
forces should be affecting
the motion

Describing UAM
Kinematics - often referred to as the
"geometry of motion“ or
TOOL “language of motion”.

Where:
vf – final velocity

vi – initial velocity

d – Displacement

t – time of motion
a – Acceleration (Constant)

Example 1.
A car is moving with an initial velocity of 10 m/s and comes to
rest after 8 seconds from initial position. Considering that the ball
has a constant acceleration of -1.25 m/s2, how far did the ball
travelled from its initial to its stopping position?
Step 1: Determine the given and the unknown in our
situation.
vi = 10 m/s; t = 8 s, a= -1.25 m/
Since the ball stopped after 8 seconds, then the vf = 0 m/s
d=?
Step 2: Identify what TOOL should be used.
