 What is speed? velocity?
What is the difference
between speed and velocity?
What is acceleration?
Speed-distance travel over unit
of time.
Velocity-change of speed over
unit of time with direction.
Acceleration – change in velocity
over unit of time.
Speed s=d

Sample Problem 1.
A train accelerates to a speed of 20 m/s over a
distance of 150 m. Determine the acceleration (assume
uniform) of the train.
Given:
vi = 0 m/s (assume the train starts from rest)
vf = 20 m/s
d = 150 m

Find:
a=?
Solution:

(20m/s) = (0 m/s) +2(a)(150 m)

400 m /s = 0 m /s + (300 m)
2 2
400 m /s = (300 m)a

(400 m /s )/ (300 m) =
a = 1.3 m/s
Sample Problem 2.
An airplane accelerates from rest 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?
Given:
a = 5.50 m/s
t = 20.25 s
vi = 0 m/s
Find:
d=?
Solution:
d = vit + ½ at2
d=(0m/s)(20.25s)+½(5.50m/s2)(20.25 s)2
d = 1130 m
Solve the given problem.
From rest, a jeepney accelerates uniformly
over a time of 3.25 seconds and covers a
distance of 15 m. Determine the
acceleration of the jeepney.
Given: vi = 0 m/s d = 15 m
t = 3.25 s
