Definition of an uniformly accelerated motion The uniformly accelerated motion is a motion that is characterized for having a movement In. straight line and a constant acceleration and different of zero, therefore the velocity of an abject in this movement is constantly changing depending on the direction of the velocity Main characteristics of the uniformly ‘accelerated motion: 10 identify when we are taking about o uniformly accelerated mation Js necessary to know the parameters of this motion: Its froiectory is in a straight line which means that this is a motion that only moves in one dimension, Its acceleration Is different than zero, nd this is the main difference behueen this motion and the constant velocity motion. Its velocity is changing constantly, because of the acceleration, the velocity increases or decreases permanently, this is why in the problems of this mation there is aluays going to be an initial velocity and a final velocity Uniformly accelerated motion a vo ve The acceleration is the constant change of the velocity. The sign or the direction that a velocity or an acceleration has could give @ preview of what the movement Is Going to bbe ike, if both acceleration and velocity hove the some sign, then the object will increase the velocity every second, but if this magnitudes have diferent signs (for example a postive velocity and a negative acceleration) then the object will start to slow down every second until it is at rest Behavior of a uniformly accelerated motion In a reierence system we usually take up ‘and right directions as positives and down and left directions as negatives, so if an object starts at rest, ond then we apply a positive acceleration to it, the object will start to advance to the right, but if we aoply a negative acceleration, then the object ill start 49 advance to the left When an object in unifortly accelerated motion has an acceleration in the opposite direction than the velocity, then the velocity of the object uill start 10 decrease unt it stays in rest, afer that moment the object will stat to advance towards the opposite direction, an example of that is uhen we throw something up, we apply a velocity to the object but because of the grouity it starts to decrease its velocity and for a moment itis Gt rest, but then it comes down fo earth again, lets remember that gravity is an acceleration that affects every object on earth. Formulas of the Uniformly accelerated motion There ore 5 formulas to solve any problen of uniformly accelerated motion, from which we can use any of those to find a variable, but we have to know which one to use, becouse there are some problems that gives lust certain data, but the problem does not give any data that we can use in an equation, that is why we have to pick very carefully which equation we are going to use.
