ACTIVITIES
Activity 1: “Am I in UAM (Uniformly Accelerated Motion)?”
Objective: Identify bodies or objects that exhibit uniformly accelerated motion.
Procedure: Analyze each scenario. Write UAM if it exhibits Uniformly Accelerated
Motion, write Non-UAM if it DOES NOT.
_______________ 1. A bike that is at rest.
_______________ 2. A boy holding a book.
_______________ 3. A girl walking leisurely.
_______________ 4. A hanging picture frame.
_______________ 5. A rock falling from a cliff.
_______________ 6. A fruit dropping from a tree.
_______________ 7. A rolling ball on an inclined plane.
_______________ 8. A man standing still in an escalator.
_______________ 9. A car increasing its velocity at a constant rate.
_______________ 10. A truck running with a constant acceleration.
WRAP- UP
FACT or BLUFF. The following statements are about bodies and objects exhibiting
Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM). Write FACT if the statement is TRUE and write
BLUFF if the statement is FALSE.
_______________ 1. Acceleration is constant in bodies in uniformly accelerated
motion.
_______________ 2. UAM can only be observed along the horizontal line of action.
_______________ 3. Objects at free-fall exhibit uniformly accelerated motion.
_______________ 4. In UAM velocity changes but at a constant rate.
_______________ 5. An object in UAM has zero acceleration.
Answer the following using the equations for Uniformly Accelerated Motions
or Kinematic Equations:
1. A train accelerates to a speed of 30 m/s over a distance of 170 m. Determine
the acceleration (assume uniform) of the train.
2. An airplane from rest accelerates on a runway at 6.20 m/s² for 25.10 s until it
finally takes off the ground. What is the distance covered before takeoff?
