 UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION

Speed – a scalar quantity Velocity – a vector quantity

Average Speed – Average Velocity -

Unit of speed/velocity
ACCELERATION – RATE OF CHANGE OF
VELOCITY
Where :

∆V = Change of velocity
 UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION IN
STRAIGHT LINE
Vf = final velocity
d Vi = initial velocity
a= S = displacement
S=at a= acceleration
Vave = t = time
PROBLEM #1
You run and made two laps around a 400-m track. What were your average speed and average velocity if
you ran for 200 speed?
PROBLEM #2
An Object starts from rest with an acceleration of 5m/s along a straight line. Find the speed and
distance travelled after 6 seconds. What was the average speed during those 6 seconds.
PROBLEM #3
From rest , a car accelerated at 8 m.s^2 for 10 seconds.
a. What is the position of the car at the end of the 10 seconds.
b. What is the velocity of the car at the end of the 10 seconds.
EXAMPLE #4
• What an initial velocity of 20km/hr, a car accelerated at 8m/s^2 for 10 seconds
a. What is the position of the car at the end of the 10 seconds.
b. What is the velocity of the car at the end of the 10 seconds.
EXAMPLE #5
A car accelerates uniformly from 0 to 72km/hr in 11.5 seconds.
a. What is the acceleration of the car in m/s^2
b. What is the position of the car by the time it reaches velocity of 72km/hr
EXAMPLE #6
An object is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a speed of 20m/s. it hits the ground
with a speed of 40m/s
a. How high is the building
b. How long was the object in the air?
EXAMPLE #7
A Train brakes form 40m/s to a stop over a distance of 100m
a. What is the acceleration of the train?
b. How much time does it take the train to stop?
EXAMPLE #8
A boy on a bicycle increases his velocity from 5 m/s to 20 m/s in 10 seconds.
a. What is the acceleration of the bicycle?
b. What distance was covered by the bicycle during the 10 seconds?
EXAMPLE #9
How long does it takes an airplane to take off it needs to reach a speed on the ground of 350km/h
over a distance of 600 meters?
What is the acceleration of the airplane over the 600 meters.
PROBLEM #10

Strating from a distance of 20 meters to the left of the origin and at velocity of 10 m/s an object to
the right of the origin for 5 seconds at 4m/s^2. What is the position of the object at the end of the 5
seconds of acceleration?
