Uniformly Accelerated Motion -Sample Problem Solving
ACCELERATED MOTION
Pink
uniform motion is constant over time
and the distance travelled is directly
proportional to the time elapsed.
Pink if True
Red if False
Pink
that the velocity of an object in uniform
acceleration motion changes at a
constant rate over time.
GRAVITY
A force that
attracts a body
toward the
center of the
earth.
Acceleration due
to gravity is
always down
toward the
center of the
Vertical motion
FREEFALL
• The motion of objects
acted solely by gravity is
also an example of
uniform acceleration
having a constant value
of g = −9.8 m/.( “-”
means downward ). It is
associated with free- Acceleration due to
gravity
falling objects and objects -9.8 m/
thrown vertically straight
to the air.
VERTICAL DIMENSION
THROWN THROWN
DROPPED (DOWNWARD) (UPWARD)
vi = 0 m/s vi = negative vi = positive
EXAMPLE
A feather is dropped on
the moon from a height of
1.40 meters. The
acceleration of gravity on
the moon is 1.67 m/s2.
Determine the time for
the feather to fall to the
surface of the moon.

EXERCISE
A meteoroid is currently
accelerating by 4.50 m/s2.
It was able to reach a
displacement of 3500 m
and its final velocity was
190.79 m/s. What was its
initial velocity?
