One-Dimensional: Uniformly Accelerated Motion
Weeks 7 - 8
Review
MOTION is a change in position with respect
to a reference point.
DISPLACEMENT DISTANCE
the straight-line distance between an the total length of path taken by an
object’s initial and final positions, object in moving from its initial to
with direction toward the final final position

Seat Work
1. An ice skater decelerates for 5.0s to a final speed of 12m/s. if the
deceleration was at a rate of 1.5m/s2, what was the skater’s initial speed?
2. How long will it take a car to accelerate from 50 to 90 km/hr if it produces
an acceleration of 3.0m/s2?
3. An elephant can run at a steady speed of 10m/s and can stop in 2.5s. What
is the average acceleration of the elephant while stopping?
Kinematic Equations
for Uniformly
Accelerated Motion
vf = final velocity a = acceleration
vi = initial velocity d = distance
t = time
Sample Problem
How far will a car travel from Solution
a standing start if it accelerates
at 4.0m/s2 for 9.0s?
Given:
d = (0 m/s)(9 s) + ½ (4 m/s2)(9s)2
From standing start = Vi = 0 m/s
4 m/s2 = a d = 0 + ½ (4 m/s2)(81s2)
9s=t
d = 162 m
Unknown:
How far = distance (d)

A dolphin decelerates for 2.0s 2s=t
from an initial speed of 7.5m/s Solution
in order to take a look at a
dolphin of the opposite sex.
Calculate the dolphin’s final
speed if the deceleration had a
magnitude of 1.5m/s2?
