UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION

(UAM)

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL (1 DIMENSION)

Distance (𝑑 𝑇 )– total length traveled
Displacement (𝑑𝑆 )– change in position
(shortest length)
Speed (V) – rate of motion per time
Velocity (𝑉𝑓 , 𝑉𝑖 )– rate of change in motion
(position) per time
Acceleration (a) – change in velocity per
time
Second Law of Motion: F = ma
Law of Acceleration (a = F/m)
The acceleration of an object as produced by a
net force is directly proportional to the
magnitude of the net force, in the same
direction as the net force, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.
Examples of Uniformly Accelerated Motion:

Horizontal UAM:
A boat traveling in a river.
A bullet fired from a gun.
Throwing a ball or a cannonball.
Movement of a billiard ball on the billiard table
The motion of the planet Earth around the Sun
Examples of Uniformly Accelerated Motion:

Vertical UAM:
A ball rolling down a slope.
A skydiver jumping out of a plane
A ball dropped from the top of a ladder
A ball is thrown upward.

Summary of UAM Formulae
(Horizontal and Vertical)
Solve:
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?

2. Zed is playing with a ball on top of a building but the ball fell and hits the
ground after 2.6 s. What is the final velocity of the ball just before it hits the
ground and how high is the building?

Two-dimensional (2D)
motion means motion that
takes place in two different
directions (or coordinates) at
the same time.

𝑎𝑥 = horizontal acceleration
𝑎𝑦 /𝑎𝑔 = vertical acceleration (due to gravity)
𝑣𝑓𝑥 = horizontal final velocity
𝑣𝑖𝑥 = horizontal initial velocity
𝑣𝑓𝑦 = vertical final velocity
𝑣𝑖𝑦 = vertical al velocity
𝑥𝑓 or 𝑑𝑥 = horizontal final displacement
𝑥𝑖 = horizontal initial displacement
𝑦𝑓 or 𝑑𝑦 = vertical final displacement
𝑦𝑖 = vertical initial displacement
