10. UNIFORM MOTION
SAMPLE PROBLEM SOLVING
Given:
• s = 65km/hr
• t = 2 hours
• Unknown = d
Solution:
• d = t x s
• d = 2hr x g65 km/hr
Answer
• 130 km
The speed limit in a long, straight highway is 65 km/h. if a bus
moves at this speed for 2 hours, how many km it travels?
11. Example 1: A car that is at rest starts to accelerate 2m/s, if it keeps
accelerating for 10 seconds, define the velocity that the car will reach.
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION (UAM)
Sample Problem
12. UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION (UAM)
Sample Problem
Example 2: A person that starts walking at a speed of 1m/s start accelerating and 30
seconds later this person is already running at a speed of 5m/s, what was the distance that
this person run?
13. UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION (UAM)
Sample Problem
Example 3: A car that is going at a speed of 33.2 m/s starts
slowing down and it ends up at rest, if we know that the
acceleration applied was of -2m/s ¿What was the distance that
this car covered?
14. UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION (UAM)
Sample Problem
Example 4: a light plane is flying at a
velocity of 12m/s, if this accelerates and
it reaches a velocity of 20m/s, and if we
know that between this it covered a 300
meters distance, what was the time and
what was the acceleration.
