Uniform Accelerated Motion: Horizontal Dimension
Background Information for the Learners

Uniformly accelerated motion, or constant acceleration, is motion that has a constant
and unchanging velocity. Uniformly accelerated motion may or may not include a difference
in an object's speed.
The acceleration of an object means that there is a net force in the direction of that
object's acceleration. Additionally, the object sometimes, but not always, has a change in
speed. An object that falls in a vacuum under gravity's pull, for instance, is said to have a
uniform acceleration and a change in speed. In contrast, a planet that orbits the sun in a
circular path with no change in speed still has uniform acceleration but without an
accompanying change in speed.
Key Concepts:
✔ Under special circumstances, we can use a series of three equations to describe or predict
movement
Vf = Vi + at
d = Vi t + 1/2at2
Vf 2 = Vi 2 + 2ad
✔ Most often, these equations are used to describe either horizontal or vertical motion
✔ Acceleration must be constant1
Uniformly Accelerated Motion: Horizontal Dimension
If a body maintains a constant change in its velocity in a given time interval along straight
line, then the body is said to have a uniform acceleration.

The change in an airplane’s position for each time interval is increasing as shown in
Figure 1, thus, it is moving faster and faster. This means that the plane is accelerating. Try the
next activity to further understand acceleration.
Remember:
Now you will use basic equations to derive formula use in Uniform Accelerated
Motion (UAM). Using the following equations on velocity, average velocity, and
acceleration, you can derive other equations.
Equation A v = d/t
Equation B Vave = vf-vi/2
a = vf-vi/t
Equation C
where: v = velocity
vf = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
Vave = average velocity
d = displacement
t = time
a = acceleration
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. you will get:
d =vt
Equation D
d =(vf-vi/2)t

Rearrange equation C to arrive at vf =vi +at and substituting the vf in equation D you will get
d = (vf+vi/2) t
d= (vi+at) vi/2 t
Combining vi, you will arrive at
d= (2vi + at/2) t
Distributing t will give you
d = 2vit + at2/2
Simplifying further will give you
d = vit +at2/2

Answer Key:
Activity1: Runaway
Q1. The car has an initial velocity of 20 km/h, therefore the initial speed u = 20 km/h.
Nothing is said about the initial position and we therefore assume it is equal to 0. Hence the
position x is given by the equation
x = (1/2) a t 2 + u t
where a is the acceleration (=8 m/s2) and t is period of time between initial and final positions
and u is the initial velocity.
Since the time is given in seconds, we need to convert 20 km/h into m/s as
follows:
20 * 1000 1 hour
u = 20 km/h 1km m 3600
= 1 hour 1 km seconds
= 5.6 m/s
We now have
x = (1/2) (8) 102 + 5.6*10 = 456 m
Q2. The velocity v of the car at the end of the 10 seconds is given by
v = a t = 8 * 10 = 80 m/s
Activity 2 : Ride a Bike

Q1. In this problem the initial velocity u = 5 m/s and the final velocity v = 20 m/s. The
acceleration a of the bicycle is the rate of change of the velocity and is given as follows
20 m/s - 5
v- m/s
a u =
= 10 seconds
t
= 1.5 m/s2
Q2. There are two ways to find the distance covered by the bicycle in t = 10 seconds.
a) x = (1/2)(v + u) t = 0.5 (20 + 5) 10 = 125 m
b) x = (1/2) a t2 + u t = 0.5 * 1.5 * 100 + 5 * 10 = 125 m

Activity 3: It’s a Choo Choo Train
Q1.We are given the initial velocity u = 40 m/s, the final velocity v = 0 (train stops) and the
distance. Hence the formula that relates these 3 quantities and the acceleration is given by
v2 = u2 + 2 a x
02 = 402 + 2 a (100)
Solve for the acceleration a
a = -1600 / 200 = - 8 m/s2
Q2. There two ways to find the time:

a) Use: x = (1/2)(v + u) t
100 = 0.5(0 + 40) t
Solve for t: t = 5 seconds.
b) Use x = (1/2) a t2 + ut
100 = 0.5 ( - 8) t2 + 40t
4 t2 - 40 t + 100 = 0
4 (t2 - 10 t + 25) = 0
4(t - 5)2 = 0
t = 5 seconds.
Activity 4: Structured Frames
Topic : Uniform Accelerated Motion Horizontal Dimension
A projectile is any object upon which the only force is gravity, Projectiles travel with
a parabolic trajectory due to the influence of gravity.
I would like to describe horizontal motion of a projectile using the following key
points:
There are no horizontal forces acting upon projectiles and thus no horizontal
acceleration.
The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant (a never changing in value).
The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.
and I can apply these in a situation when the car slows down when you fall off a
bridge. The car turning at the corner is an example of acceleration because the
direction is changing. The quicker one turns, the greater the acceleration.

Uniform Accelerated Motion: Vertical Dimension
Background Information for the Learners

You learned in your Grade 8 that the pull of gravity acts on all objects. So on Earth,
when you throw something up, it will go down. Things thrown upward always fall at a
constant acceleration which has a magnitude of 9.8 m/s2. This means that the velocity of an
object in free fall changes by 9.8 m/s every second of fall.
Consider a stone dropped from the cliff as shown in Figure 2. For equal time interval,
the distance travelled increases quadratically.
Figure 2. Motion of the stone dropped from the hill and motion of
the stone thrown vertically upward
Another example of free-fall is a body thrown upward. Consider figure on the right
where a ball is thrown upward. As the ball goes up it decelerates with a magnitude of 9.8 m/s2
until it stops momentarily and changes direction. That means it reaches its maximum height
before it starts to fall. Using equation F, you will also find that when the ball falls back to the
point where it was thrown, its speed will be equal to the speed at which it was thrown.
Key Concepts:
Note that the magnitude of the two velocities are equal, but they have opposite
directions- velocity is upward when it was thrown, but downward when it returns.

Do the next activities to further see the behavior of falling objects.

Answer Key:
Activity 1: Drop Me
Guide Questions:
Q1. Consider that the direction from ground up is the positive direction of the falling object. Given
the initial (-20 m/s) and final velocities (-40 m/s); the minus sign was added to take into
account the fact that the falling object is moving in the negative direction. We know the
gravitational acceleration (g = - 9.8 m/s2) acting on the falling object and we are asked to find
the height of the building. If we consider the position of the object as being x (with x = 0 on
the ground), then we may use the equation relating the initial and final velocities u and v, the
acceleration a and the initial (x0 which the height of the building) and final (x, on the ground)
positions as follows:
v2 = u2 + 2 a (x - x0)

(-40 m/s)2 = (-20 m/s)2 + 2 (-9.8 m/s0) (0 - x0)
Solve the above for x0

x0 = 1200 / 19.6 = 61.2 m
Q2. x - x0 = (1/2)(u + v)t

-61.2 = 0.5(-20 - 40)t
t = 61.2 / 30 = 2.04 s
Activity 2: Well Well Water Well

Q1. a) a rock was dropped down the well and is uniformly accelerated downward due to gravity. If h
is the height of the well and t is the time taken by the rock to reach the bottom of the well,
then we have h = (1/2)(9.8) t 2
b) After the splash, the sound travels up the well at a constant speed of 340 m/s. Again the
same height h of the well is given by h = 340 *(8 - t) : 8 - t is the time taken for the sound to
travel from bottom to top where the sound is heard.
The above equations give:
(1/2)(9.8) t2 = 340 *(8 - t)
4.9 t2 + 340 t - 2720 = 0
Solve for t, two solutions:

t = 7.24 s and the second solution is negative and is not valid.
The height h of the well is calculated using one of the above equations:
h = 340 *(8 - t) = 340 *(8 - 7.24) = 257 meters (approximated to the the nearest meter)

Activity 3: You Raise Me Up
Q1. In this problem the rock has an initial velocity u. When the rock reaches a height of 10 m, it
returns down to earth and the the velocity v = 0 when x = 10 meters. Hence
v = -9.8 t + u
0 = -9.8 t + u
u = 9.8 t
x = (1/2)(u + v) t
10 = 0.5 (9.8 t + 0) t
= 4.9 t2
Solve for t: t = 1.42 seconds
Q2. u = 9.8 t = 9.8 * 1.24 = 14 m/s
Activity 4: Structured Frames
Topic : Uniform Accelerated Motion Vertical Dimension
A projectile is any object upon which the only force is gravity, Projectiles travel with
a parabolic trajectory due to the influence of gravity.
I would like to describe vertical motion of a projectile using the following key
points:
The pull of gravity acts on all objects so on Earth, when you throw something up, it
will go down.
The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second.
There is a vertical acceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s/s, down.
and I can apply these in
Rain drops from clouds to earth, or hails coming down with rain.

PROJECTILE MOTION
Background Information for Learners (BIL)

One type of projectile motion is the movement of a body that is launched or released
at a certain angle. A body or an object that undergo projectile motion is called a projectile. A
hopping frog and a kicked soccer ball are examples of projectiles that are launched at an
angle. They rise and then fall curving downward along a parabolic path. The path that the
projectile follows is called the trajectory. The peak of the trajectory is the highest point that
the projectile could reach during its motion. The horizontal distance that the projectile covers
is called its range (R), while the vertical distance, that is, the distance from where it was
launched to the highest point of its path (peak) is its maximum height (H). The angle of
launch or angle of release (ϴ) is the angle that is formed when the projectile is fired,
launched or released. Under ideal conditions, an object undergoing projectile motion is
affected only by gravity (as a projectile moves, air resistance is assumed to have a negligible
or no effect upon the motion).
An angle-launched projectile has both a horizontal and vertical component to its
initial velocity. Initial velocity is the velocity at which motion starts. The magnitudes of the
horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity can be calculated from the
knowledge of the initial velocity (vi) and the angle of launch (ϴ) using trigonometric
functions. The equations are:
Formula: where:
vix = vi cosϴ vix – horizontal component of the initial velocity
viy = vi sinϴ viy – vertical component of the initial velocity
vi – initial velocity
ϴ - angle of launch
viy vi H
ϴ
vix
R
The height and the range of a projectile depend on its initial velocity and angle of
launch.

Below are formulas that could be used to solve problems involving projectiles that are
launched at a certain angle.
For maximum height reached:

H = viy2 where H – maximum height
2g viy - vertical component of the initial velocity
g -acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8m/s2
For the total time of flight:

t = 2viy where t – total time
g viy – vertical component of the initial velocity
g - acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8m/s2
For the horizontal distance or range:

R = vix t where R – range
vix – horizontal component of the velocity
t – total time
EXAMPLE

R = 2.53 m
At angle 75o,
R = 1.29 m
I will succeed in going to the other side of the stream when I jump at launch angle of 40 o
because at angle 40o, I will land 2.53 m from the starting point. The landing point is .53 m
from the edge of the stream. If I launch at 75o, I will definitely fall into the stream because
with this angle, I could only reach a distance of 1.29 m from the starting point.
2. The range and height of a projectile depend upon the initial velocity and the angle at which
the angle is released or launched above the horizontal. The farthest distance (range) is
reached when the angle of launch is equal to 45o. If a projectile is launched at the same initial
velocity but 2 different angles, the projectile will land on the same range if the sum of the 2
angles is 90o. On the other hand, when the projectile is launched at the same initial velocity,
the higher maximum height is reached when the angle of launch is greater. When the angle of
launch is low, the projectile will reach low maximum height.

The Law of Conservation of Momentum

Newton’s law of inertia states that a heavier object is more difficult to move because
it has more inertia in it. It is more resistant to any force applied to it. The same is true with
objects moving at a faster velocity. A car running at 50kph is more difficult to stop than
another car of the same mass running at 30kph. This is because more force is needed to put
the faster car to a halt.
More inertia means more momentum. Therefore, a truck has more momentum than a
car if both are moving with the same speed; the faster car has more momentum than the
slower car.
Source: https://www.wired.com/story/physics-momentum-principle-work-energy-principle/
Figure 1. A truck has more momentum than a car.
What is momentum? Momentum is a measurement of mass in motion. Any object that

is moving has momentum. In physics, momentum of an object is equal to the mass times the
velocity.
momentum = (mass) (velocity)
Momentum is usually abbreviated using the letter "p" making the equation look like:
p = (m) (v)
where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity.

From this equation you can see that both the velocity of the object and the mass have an
equal impact on the amount of momentum. You have more momentum when you are running
than when you are walking. By the same token, if a car and bicycle are traveling down the
street at the same velocity, the car will have more momentum.
Source: https://slideplayer.com/slide/13245389/
Figure 2. A car moving faster has more momentum than another car of the same mass.
How to Measure Momentum
Momentum is typically measured in kilograms times meters per second (kg*m/s) or

newton-second (N s).
Momentum is a Vector
Because velocity is a vector, momentum is also a vector. This means that in addition to the
magnitude of momentum (which is given by p = mv), momentum also has a direction. The
direction of momentum is shown by an arrow or vector.

Figure 3. Sample computation of momentum.
Collisions
When two objects bump into each other, this is called a collision. In physics, a collision
doesn't have to involve an accident (like two cars crashing into each other), but can be any
event where two or more moving objects exert forces on each other for a short period of time.
Examples:
● One ball striking another on a pool table
● A baseball bat hitting a ball
● Your fingers striking the key on the keyboard
Collisions and the Conservation of Momentum
An important theory in physics is the law of momentum conservation. This law describes
what happens to momentum when two objects collide.
The law states that when two objects collide in a closed system, the total momentum of the
two objects before the collision is the same as the total momentum of the two objects after the
collision. The momentum of each object may change, but the total momentum must remain
the same.
Example:
If a red ball with a mass of 10 kg is traveling east at a speed of 5 m/s and collides with a
blue ball with a mass of 20 kg traveling west at a speed of 10 m/s, what is the result?
First we figure out the momentum of each ball before the collision:
Red ball = (10 kg ) (5 m/s) = 50 kg m/s east

Blue ball = (20 kg) (10 m/s) = 200 kg m/s west
The resulting momentum will be:

Both balls = 150 kg m/s west
Note: An object standing still has a momentum of 0 kg m/s.
Conserving Momentum
Recall an experience when you bump into somebody. What happened? You collided
with another person’s body. In other words, you interacted with another body. Collisions
happen because objects interact with other objects. Cars collide in road accidents and soccer
players bump into each other during an intense soccer game. But what happens when bodies
collide? Does their individual momentum change? If so, what happens to them after they
collide?
Figure 4. Illustration of conservation of momentum.
Newton’s law of interaction tells us that interacting bodies exert forces on each other.
Such forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
Take for example a collision between Car 1 and Car 2. Applying Newton’s third law,
you can say that Car 1 exerted a force on Car 2, the same way that Car 2 exerted a force on
Car 1. These forces that acted on both cars are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
So F1 =F2.
Source: https://www.sophia.org/tutorials/the-law-of-conservation-of-momentum

Figure 5. Momentum is conserved in a car collision.
These forces act on both cars for a given period of time. In this case as with most car
crashes, forces act on the colliding cars only for a short period of time. However, time
interval can be long in some cases. But no matter how long or how short the time these forces
are applied, keep in mind that the time the forces is applied to Car 2 is equal to the time the
force is applied to Car 1. For example, if Car 1 touches Car 2 for 0.5 seconds, it follows that
Car 2 touches Car 1 in exactly the same period of time (0.5 seconds). Thus, t1=t2.
Since the forces exerted on both cars are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
and since the time intervals during which these two forces act are the same, the impulses
imparted by the cars to one another are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, too.
If the respective impulses received by the cars are equal but opposite in direction, then
their corresponding changes in momentum are also equal in magnitude but opposite in
direction.
Change in momentum (P1 ) = - change in momentum (P2)
∆P1= -∆ P 2
If the system is composed of the two cars only, the total change in momentum of the
system is zero.
∆P1+∆ P 2 =0
Since there is no change in momentum of the system, the momentum is conserved. In
physics, quantity is said to be conserved when it remains constant.
When you say that the total momentum of the two cars is conserved, you assumed that
there are no external forces acting on the cars are as consistent with Newton’s second law of
motion. What about the forces the cars exert on one another? We have defined the system as
one composed of the two cars. Therefore, the forces they exert on one another are internal
forces. Thus, if no external force is present, no change in the total momentum of the system is
possible. This is known as the law of conservation of momentum. The law states that:
In the absence of an external net force, the total momentum of a system remains
constant.
When bodies interact, their total momentum before the collision is equal to the total
momentum after the collision. In symbol,
P1 + P2 = P1´ + P2´
where P´ is the momentum of the body after collision.
Substituting p=mv, you have
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1´ + m2v2´
where mA is the mass of the first body; mB is the mass of the second body; vA is the velocity of
the first body before the collision; vB is the velocity of the second body before the collision; v
´A is the velocity of the first object after collision; and v´B is the velocity of the second object
after collision.
If in a collision, Car 1 lost 100 units of momentum, Car 2 should have gained 100
units of the momentum Car 1 lost. Adding the momenta of both cars after the collision still
yields the same total momentum since momentum was only transferred to the other colliding
body. Therefore, momentum is not lost but conserved. In the collision of objects, the total
momentum of the system is always conserved- that is, the total momentum of colliding
objects does not change before, during and after the collision.

Figure 6. Sample computation of conservation of momentum.
Sample problem:
A marble of mass m1=0.04 kg moving with the speed v1=2.0m/s strikes a second
marble, initially at rest, of mass m2 =0.04 kg. As a result of the collision, the first ball comes
to rest and the second ball moves in the opposite direction. What is the velocity of marble 2?
Given: m1 = 0.04 kg
m2 = 0.04 kg
v1 = 2.0 m/s (v for the speed and velocity)
v2 = 0
v1´=0
Find: v2´
Solution:
Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision
P1 + P2 = P1´ + P2´
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1´ + m2v2´
(0.04 kg) (2.0 m/s) + (0.04 kg) (0) = (0.04 kg) (0) + (0.04 kg) v2´
0.08 kg.m/s + 0 = 0 + 0.04 kg (v2´)
v2´ = 2 m/s

Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Energy is needed to perform work. An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to
do work. Mechanical energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Work is done when a
force acts on an object will cause it to move, change its shape, displace or do something
physical. This force is caused by mechanical energy. There are two forms of Mechanical
energy, the kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with
motion. All objects that are moving possess kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an object is
dependent on its mass and the square of its speed. The faster the object, the greater its kinetic
energy therefore, an object with more energy can do greater amount of work. Some forms of
kinetic energy are sound, radiant, electrical, heat, and thermal energy. Sound energy is an
energy produced by vibration as they travel through a medium. Energy that travels in space in
a form of waves are called radiant energy. Electrical energy is caused by flow of electric
charges. Heat energy is an energy that flows from objects with higher temperature to object
with lower temperature. Heat transfer is due to the difference in temperature between objects,
and the movement of particles in a matter is called thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal
energy. The second form of mechanical energy is the potential energy which is stored in an
object due to its position, location or condition. There are three forms of potential energy, the
gravitational, elastic and chemical. The Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is associated to
earth’s gravitational pull from the ground. Some objects like springs and rubber bands are
capable to stretch and return to original form due to its Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).
Chemical Potential Energy (CPE) is an energy stored in an objects like the food you eat, or
the fuel you use to cook food or run vehicles.
The mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion and stored energy in
its position. The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of kinetic energy and
potential energy. This sum is simply referred to as the Total Mechanical Energy (TME). In
equation form, TME = PE + KE. Potential and Kinetic Energy can be calculated using the
equations below. In Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy, the PE and KE is inversely
proportional, meaning that as PE increases, KE decreases and as KE increases, the PE
decreases. This can be applied in a free fall object. For example, when the stone falls, its
loses gravitational potential energy while gaining kinetic energy since its speed increases.
Neglecting friction, the loss in stone’s gravitational potential energy is equal to the gain in
kinetic energy. Thus, the total mechanical energy of the stone at any point in its path while
falling is constant.
Forms of Mechanical Energy Formula Where
Potential Energy PE = mgh PE = Potential Energy

m = mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity
(9.8m/s2) constant value
h = height or elevation difference
Kinetic Energy KE = ½ mv2 KE = Kinetic Energy
m = mass of object
v = velocity of object
Study very well the following sample problems.

Example #1
How much potential energy is gained by a 2-kg book when it is raised 1.5 m
above the table?
Take note that we are looking for the increase in gravitational potential energy with
reference to the table top.
Solution:
PE = mgh
= (2 kg) (9.8m/s2) (1.5m)
= 29.4 joules
The unit of gravitational potential energy is the same as the unit of work which is joule
(J).
Example #2
A 2kg baseball moves at speed of 5m/s2. Find the amount of its kinetic energy.
Solution:
KE = ½ mv2
= ½ (2kg) (5m/s)2
= 25 joules
The unit of KE is
KE = ½ mv2
Joule = kg(m/s)2
= kg m2/s2 may also written as (kgm/s2) (m), or N.m
= N. m or joule (J)

2. What is the kinetic energy of 0.2 kg bullet travelling at velocity of 200 m/s?
Activity 3
CATCH ME IF I FALL

Direction: Continue fill in the table below to complete the data using the given problem.
❖ A 5 kg rock falls from the mountain at the height of 50m. Find for the PE, KE, and TME
where the stone is:
a. on the top of a mountain;
b. falls at 1second;
c. falls at 2 seconds; and
d. falls at 3 seconds
Solution for problem a:

PE= mgh KE = ½ mv 2
= 5kg (9.8m/s2) (50m)
= 2,450 J = ½ (5 kg) (0 m/s)2
Solution for problem b: =0

PE= mgh KE = ½ mv 2
= 5kg (9.8m/s2) (45.1m)
= 2,209.9 J = ½ (5 kg) (9.8 m/s)2
= 240.1 J
Note that the formula used in computing distance of a free fall is
d= ½ gt2. Getting the height obtained by KE is d= ½ gt2
= ½ (9.8m/s) (1s)2
= 4.9 m
Subtracting the height of rock on the top of the mountain which is 50 m to 4.9 is
equal to 45.1m
The velocity can be calculated using this formula v=gt as you learned in uniformly
accelerated motion due to vertical dimension.
v= gt
= 9.8 m/s2 ( 1 s)
= 9.8 m/s
Now, its your turn to compute for problem c and d by showing your solution.
