Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the Uniformly Accelerated Motion. The scope of this module permits it to be
used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

Lesson
Uniformly Accelerated
1 Motion
In order to get more comfortable working with kinematics, we're going to use
this tactic as well. At this point, you should be comfortable solving problems
involving position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration on their own. So we're
going to take it a step further and combine them. But we need to simplify a couple
things.
First, we'll only look at objects that are accelerating at a constant rate, called
'uniformly accelerated motion.' This is rarely achieved in the real world due to
additional outside forces creating variability in how fast or slow an object
accelerates through its entire motion. To make it easier, we're not going to bother
with any of those yet.
Second, we'll only look at objects traveling in a straight line. This eliminates
any messy issues with the directional component required for vector quantities and
calculations. Since we're stuck on one straight line, the only directions we need to
worry about are forwards and backwards, which we'll call positive and negative. For
these problems, the sign is enough. No additional descriptors like north, up, or left
are needed.
These limitations might seem unrealistic in the real world, but uniformly
accelerated motion in a straight line is a great way to learn how the kinematics
concepts fit together into five basic equations.

What’s New
Vf = Vi + a t
x = Vi t + ½ a t2
Vf2 = Vi2 + 2a x
( )
Vi – initial velocity
a – acceleration
x – displacement
t – change in time

What is It
Solution:
1. Viy = +25 m/s
2. ay = - 9.8 m/s2
Vfy = Viy + ay t
= 5.4 m/s
Vfy = Viy + ay t
= -14.2 m/s
Vfy2 – Viy2 = 2 ay y
12
www.shsph.blogspot.com
0 – Viy2 = 2 ay y
y = -Viy2 /2ay
y = Viy t + ½ ay (t)2
0 = Viy t + ½ ay (t)2
= t (Viy + ½ ay t)
( )
t =
How long does it take for the ball to reach its maximum height?
7. The velocity has magnitude 5 m/s when its value is +5 m/s and −5 m/s.
For +5 m/s,
Vfy – Viy = ay t
For -5 m/s
Notice these times are equidistant from the time it takes to reach the highest
point, 2.55 s. The velocities are symmetric about the highest point.
The ball rises to a maximum height of 31.9 m and falls to a height of 2.5 m,
a distance of (31.9 m – 2.5 m) = 29.4 m below the highest point. The total
distance travelled is

10. The second ball must be in the air 1 second shorter than the first ball.
y = Viy t + ½ ay (t)2
0 = Viy t + ½ ay (t)2
= t (Viy + ½ ay t)
