Lesson 0.2: Uniform Accelerated Motion

• If a body maintains a constant change in its velocity in a given time interval along a straight line, then the body is said to have a Uniform Acceleration.
• Equation A: v=d/t
• Equation B: vave = vf-vi/2
• Equation C: a = vf-vi/t
• where:

  • v = velocity
  • vf = final velocity
  • vi = initial velocity
  • vave = average velocity
  • d = displacement
  • t = time
  • a = acceleration
• Equation D: d = (vf + vi/2)t
• To find out how displacement changes with time when an object is uniformly accelerated, rearrange equation A to arrive at d = vt. Since the velocity of the object changes when it is uniformly accelerating, we use the average velocity to determine displacement, so substituting v by Vave in equation B
• Equation E: d = vit + at^2/2
