TRUE OR FALSE
Acceleration (5 Points)
“A sports car is travelling at a constant
velocity vi = 5.00 m/s. The driver steps on the
gas, and the car accelerates forward. After
10.0 seconds, the driver stops accelerating
and maintains a constant velocity vf = 25.0
m/s. What was the car’s acceleration?.”
UNIFORM VS. NON-UNIFORM
ACCELERATION
NON-UNIFORM ACCELERATION
• Non uniform acceleration means that the
acceleration of an object is not constant,
but either increasing or decreasing over a
passage of time, as shown in the diagram above.
 UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED
MOTION (UAM)
• Uniform acceleration means that the
acceleration of the car remains the same over a
period of time.
• It means that the acceleration is constant, and
neither increasing nor decreasing.
 UAM:
HORIZONTAL AND VERITCAL
DIMENSIONS
Other Examples of UAM in Real Life
• A ball rolling down an incline
• A person falling from a plane
• A bicycle on which you have applied brakes
• A ball dropped from the top of a ladder
• A toy baby bottle released from the bottom of the bath tub
Assignment:
•Derive
  the following equations on uniformly accelerated motion using
the equations for velocity, average velocity and acceleration.
