Supposed you
were having your
on-job training in
a private
investigating
company.
You were asked
to join a team
assigned to
investigate a “hit
and run” case.
The alleged
suspect was
captured by the
CCTV camera
driving down a
road leading to
the place of
incident. The
suspect denied
the allegation,
saying he was
then driving very
slowly with
a constant speed.
Because of the
short time
difference he was
caught by the
camera and
when the
accident
happened, he
insisted that it
was impossible
that he would
already be
at the place when
the crime
happened. But
when you were
viewing the scene
again on
the camera, you
noticed that his
car was
leaving oil spots
on the road.
When you
checked these
spots on the site,
you found out
that they are still
evident. So, you
began
to investigate the
motion of the car
of the suspect
and check wether
he was telling the
truth or not.

Consider the situation below.
Supposed you were having your on-job training
in a private investigating company. You were
asked to join a team assigned to investigate a
“hit and run” case. The alleged suspect was
captured by the CCTV camera driving down a
road leading to the place of incident. The
suspect denied the allegation, saying he was
then driving very slowly with a constant speed.
Because of the short time difference he was
caught by the camera and when the accident
happened, he insisted that it was impossible that
he would already beat the place when the crime
happened. But when you were viewing the
scene again on the camera, you noticed that
his car was leaving oil spots on the road.
When you checked these spots on the site, you
found out that they are still evident. So, you
began to investigate the motion of the car of the
suspect and check wether he was telling the
truth or not.

Example 1:
A car accelerates from rest to 24 m/s in 6s. What
is its average acceleration?
Given:
Initial Velocity: 0 m/s
Final Velocity: 24 m/s
Time: 6s
final velocity−initial v elocity
acceleration=
time
Solving:
Change in velocity= 24 m/s- 0 m/s
= 24 m/s

Example 2:
Margareth rides a motorcycle that accelerates
from 8 m/s to 32 m/s in 4s. What is its average
acceleration?
Given:
Initial Velocity: 8 m/s
Final Velocity: 32 m/s
Time: 6s
