 INTRODUCTION
• Mechanics- branch of Physics that studies
motion.
• Kinematics- branch of mechanics concerned
with the motion of bodies and objects without
any reference to forces.
• Dynamics- branch of mechanics concerned
with the motion of bodies under the
intervention of forces.
UNIFORM ACCELERATED MOTION (UAM)
The acceleration of the
body is uniform or
constant throughout its
motion.Thus, it implies
that its velocity change
with respect to time at
a constant rate.
 UNIFORM ACCELERATED MOTION (UAM)
• Three quantities where
Kinematics Equations revolve:
a. Displacement
b.Velocity
c. Acceleration
 DISPLACEMENT
• A vector that points from an object’s initial
and final position and has a magnitude that
equals the shortest distance between two
points.
• SI Unit: m (meter)
• Symbol: x or d
 VELOCITY
• Rate of change of the body’s position with respect
to frame of reference. It is the total distance
travelled divided by the time required to cover the
distance.
• SI Unit: m/s (meter per second)
• Symbol: v
d
• Formula: v
t
(v= velocity, d= displacement , and t= time)
 ACCELERATION
•A rate of change of the velocity of an object
with respect to time.
•Points in the same direction of the
velocity.

 SUMMARY
A body is said to be in uniformly
accelerated motion if its acceleration is
constant. Any body or object that is in
free fall experiences the acceleration
due to gravity which is equal to 9.80
2
m/s .

traffic enforcer signals that he should
speed up. He then steps on the gas pedal

travelled. Assume Angelito’s reaction time
is 0.15 s.
