Uniform and Non Uniform Motion
Uniform and Non Uniform Motion
and
Non-Uniform
Motion
Basic equations to derive formulae used in
Uniformly Accelerated Motion(UAM).
where:
v = velocity
vf = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
Vave = average
velocity
d = displacement
t = time
a = acceleration
SAMPLE PROBLEM 1:
d =( )t
use the average velocity to determine
displacement, so substituting v by vave in
equation B, you will get:
Derivation:
Rearrange equation C
to arrive at vf = vi +at
and substituting the vf in
equation D, you will get:
Vf = Vi + at
Derivation: Simplifying further will provide
you:
Combining vi, you will
arrive at:
d = (vf - vi )
2 2
Rearranging you will get:

Simplifying, you will get:
What are the six

derived equations:
Equation D d= t
Sample problem 1:
To apply the derive equations, study the following problems.
d = vit + ½ at 2
d = 1128 m
Sample problem 2:
A jeepney from rest accelerates uniformly over a
time of 3.25 seconds and covers a distance of 15 m .
Determine the acceleration of the jeepney?
Given: d = vit + ½ at2
Given: Vf = Vi + at
a = 2.5 m/s2
t = 10s vf = (0 m/s) + (2.5 m/s2)(10s)
vi = 0 m/s
vf = (2.5 m/s2)(10s)
Find: Vf = ? vf = 25 m/s
Sample problem 3:
To apply the derive equations, study the following problems.
You are driving to go to supermarket. While at rest you place your
foot on the gas and applied an acceleration of 2.5 m/s 2 . What will
be your velocity after 10 s? How far did you travel?
Given:
a = 2.5 m/s2
t = 10s d = (0 m/s)(10s) + 0.5 (2.5 m/s2)(10s)2
vi = 0 m/s d = 0.5 (2.5 m/s2)(100s2)
d = 0.5 (250 m)
Find: d = ?
d = 125 m
Uniformly Accelerated
motion (uam):
vertical
DIMENSION
vertical Motion
When examining strictly vertical
motion, the acceleration will be
the ACCELERATION DUE TO
EARTH's GRAVITY which is
CONSTANT.
a = - 9.8 m/s 2
vertical Motion
what is gravity?
It is a natural force that causes
things to fall towards the Earth.
On Earth, it gives weight to a
physical object.
vertical Motion
The comparison of formulae
between horizontal and
vertical formulae in: h= d= vit + ½ agt 2
vf = -26 m/s
solution:
How high is the building?
d = vi (0) t + ½ agt
2
vf = - 19.6 m/s
problem 2:
An object does free fall
motion. It hits the
ground after 4 seconds.
Calculate the velocity of
the object after 4 seconds.
What can be the height it is
thrown?
Solution 2:
d = ½ agt2
vf = vi (0) + agt d = - [0.5 (- 9.8 m/s2) (4 s)2 ]
vf = (-9.8 m/s )(4 s)
2 d = - [0.5 (- 9.8 m/s2) (16 s2)]
d = - [0.5 (- 156.8 m)]
vf = - 39.2 m/s d = 78.4 m
