UNIFORMLY

ACCELERATED MOTION
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION
-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.
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION
HORIZONTAL DIMENSION

VERTICAL DIMENSION
EXAMPLES OF UAM
• A ball rolling down an incline.
• A person falling from a plane.
• A bicycle on which you have applied the brakes.
• A ball dropped from the top of a ladder.
• A toy baby bottle released from the bottom of a
bathtub.
ACTIVITY 1: ROLL ROLL AWAY

SAMPLE PROBLEM 1
•An airplane from rest accelerates on
a runway at 5.50 m/s2 for 20.25 s
until it finally takes off the ground.
What is the distance covered before
takeoff?
SAMPLE PROBLEM 2
•A jeepney from rest accelerates
uniformly over a time of 3.25
seconds and covers a distance of 15
m. Determine the acceleration of
the jeepney?
ASSIGNMENT:
•A train accelerates to a speed of 20
m/s over a distance of 150 m.
Determine the acceleration (assume
uniform) of the train.
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION –
VERTICAL DIMENSION
•Gravity
-a force that attracts a body toward the center of
the earth or any other physical body having mass.

•Free-Fall?
-it is the downward motion under the
influence of gravity
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION –
VERTICAL DIMENSION
•Acceleration due to gravity
-acceleration in all free falling objects.

- “g” = 9.8 m/s²

SAMPLE PROBLEM 1
•Zed is playing with a ball on top of a
building but the ball fell and hits the
ground after 2.6 seconds, what is
the final velocity of the ball just
before it hits the ground and how
high is the building?
SAMPLE PROBLEM 2
•The Philippine tarsier is capable
of jumping to a height of 1.5 m
in hunting for food. Determine
the takeoff speed of the tarsier.
ASSIGNMENT
•The acceleration of gravity on the
moon is 1.62 m/s². If a ball is
dropped on the moon from a
height of 1.50 m. Determine the
time for the ball to fall to the
surface of the moon.
