Uniformly Accelerated
Motion
Uniformly AcceleratedMotion (UAM) is motion
of an object where the acceleration is constant. In
other words, the acceleration remains uniform;
the acceleration is equal to a number and that
number does not change as a function of time.

(m/s)
Acceleration is the rate of change in
velocity/speed.

Base on thosevalues, the car
speed/velocity increases by 4 units in every
second. Thus, the acceleration is
UNIFORM
The car is uniformly accelerating at 4m/s2
How can wedetermine the
acceleration of motion?
We need to determine the following quantities:
1.Velocity or Speed
2.Time of travel
Acceleration (a)

With an S.I Unit of meters-per-second squared ()

Example 1.
A caris moving with an initial velocity of 10 m/s and comes
to rest after 8 seconds from initial position. Considering that the car
has a constant acceleration of -1.25 m/s2
, how far did the car
travelled from its initial to its stopping position?
Step 1: Determine the given and the unknown in our
situation.
vi = 10 m/s; t = 8 s, a= -1.25 m/
Since the car stopped after 8 seconds, then the vf = 0 m/s
d = ?
Step 2: Identify what TOOL should be used.
