The document discusses motion with uniform acceleration. It derives and explains three key equations of motion: 1) s = 1/2 (v + v0)t, where s is displacement, v is final velocity, v0 is initial velocity, and t is time. 2) s = v0t + 1/2 at2, where a is acceleration. 3) v = v0 + at, where v is final velocity. It also provides examples demonstrating how to apply these equations to calculate displacement, velocity, time, and other variables for objects experiencing uniform acceleration.

Example 1 - Motion with uniform acceleration
An object is moving along the x-axis. Its velocity at the starting point, O is 5ms-

. If it has uniform acceleration 6 m s-2, calculate
a) its position after 2 s a = 6 m s-2
b) its velocity after 3 s

Example 2 - Motion with uniform acceleration

An object moving with velocity 20 m s-1 is decelerated at 4 m s-2 .


a) When will the object stop ?
b) What is its position and velocity after 3 s ?
Solution :
Given ; vo = 20 m s-1 , a = 4 m s-2

• When the object stops , v = 0 m s-1 ;


v = vo + at
