Let Us Learn
A wonderful day to you little scientist! When you were in Grade 7, you
learned to differentiate between distance and displacement, and solved for
speed and velocity of objects. Consequently, you computed for the
acceleration of a moving object when the magnitude of its velocity changes.
In this module, you will learn the concept of uniformly accelerated
motion.

second of travel. If we continue recording the car’s motion up to the sixth

Figure 2 A. Table 1. Velocity of the car at various times
B. Graph of velocity against time
Starting from rest, the car gained a speed of 5m/s after 1 second. After
2 seconds, its velocity became 10 m/s; after another second, its velocity is
15m/s, and so on. It shows that in every second the velocity of the car
increases 5 m/s. Since the resulting graph is a straight line, it represents
direct proportion relation between velocity and time. A straight-line graph of
velocity against time represents a uniform or constant acceleration.
There is a set of equations that can be used to describe objects that are
either moving with constant velocity (where acceleration is 0), or constant
acceleration. These are the Kinematics Equations:
G. 𝑣⃗&) = 2𝑎⃗𝑑⃗

where:
𝑑⃗ = displacement (m) 𝑎⃗ = acceleration (m/s2)
𝑣⃗' = initial velocity (m/s) t = time (s)
𝑣⃗& = final velocity (m/s)
Let us try:

acceleration of 5 m/s2 for 20 seconds until it reaches the school. How far
has it traveled during this time?

Uniformly Accelerated Motion: Vertical Dimension (Free Fall)

When a body falls freely from rest, vi = 0, its speed increases uniformly
due to the force of gravity. Acceleration due to gravity, represented by the
symbol g, is a constant value near the Earth’s surface. g = - 9.8m/s2. Note
that the value of g is negative since its direction is downward (towards the
center of the Earth).
Examine figure 5 below. When a ball falls freely from rest it reaches a
speed of 9.8 m/s after 1 second; in 2 seconds its speed is 19.6 m/s; in 3
seconds of fall its speed is 29.4 m/s. It shows that the velocity changes at a
uniform rate of 9.8 m/s every second. The longer the time of fall, the greater
its final speed when it hits the ground.

The negative sign denotes direction. This means that after 2
seconds, the ball has fallen 20 meters toward the center of the Earth
(which means downward).

1. What is the acceleration of the ball after 1 s? ___________
2. What is the acceleration of the ball at its maximum height? _____________
3. What is the velocity of the ball at the top of its path? _____________
4. If the ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 50 m/s, what is the final
velocity of the ball at a point at the same level as when it was thrown? _____
5. What is the acceleration of the ball 10 seconds after being thrown up? __
6. If the ball took 5 s to reach its maximum height, how long will the ball go
back to where it was initially launched?
(Adapted from EASE Module 9 Going Places)
Keep in mind that acceleration in Free Fall is constant. The velocity of the
object upward is the same magnitude downward. The only difference is the
direction. The time it takes to reach the maximum height is the same time
as it falls back.
B. Direction: Fill in the blank with the correct answer. Use the choices in
the table.

seconds?

it take for the marble to hit the ground? (use g = -10 m/s2)

determine to find ways to solve the problem.

Let Us Reflect
Application of Concepts
To protect life from road accidents, traffic rules and regulations must
be implemented and strictly followed. One of these is the speed limit. In
addition, appropriate distance from the other vehicles on the road must be
observed by motorists. This is to give ample time for the driver to react,
and for the vehicle to safely come to a stop.
Also, there is more than one way to solve problems that involve
uniformly accelerated motion. Identification of the given quantities is
important to find appropriate equation for that problem. In the same
manner, when solving personal problems, we make sure that we have all
the relevant information so we can select the appropriate solution to our
problem. Remember, every problem has its own solution.
