Second Quarter
Uniformly Accelerated Motion
 For many practical applications such as
falling objects and skidding cars, the
acceleration of these bodies is nearly
constant.
 This means that their velocities change with
respect to time at a constant rate.

Acceleration

Average acceleration

Velocity – tells how fast an object’s position is

changing with respect to time.

Average velocity
V = velocity
Xf = Final position
Xo = Initial position
t = time

a = average acceleration
V = average velocity
d = distance
