UAM

• Uniformly accelerated motion (UAM)


  Motion of an object where the acceleration is constant
• Dimensions of UAM


  • Horizontal dimension (motion in the ground)
  • Vertical dimension (free falling bodies)
• Everything that goes up or thrown upward, always falls at a constant acceleration that is equal to 9.8 m/s2
• Displacement


  • The actual length covered by an object
  • It is a scalar quantity
  • The straight line or the shortest possible distance from the initial position to the final position
  • It is a vector quantity
• Speed


  • Describes how fast an object is travelling
  • A car cruising at 60 m/s
• Velocity


  • Describes how fast and where the object is travelling
  • A car cruising at 60 m/s, South
• Acceleration


  • Describes the change in velocity over time
  • A car accelerating at 20 m/s2
• Uniformly accelerated motion


  • Speedometer reading of a jeepney
  • 1 minute: 10 m/s
  • 2 minutes: 20 m/s
  • 3 minutes: 30 m/s
  • 4 minutes: 40 m/s
