Motion with Uniform Acceleration • When acceleration of a particle is
not
Equations of UARM •
If a particle has constant acceleration a, it follows that the average acceleration is also a.
•
The four basic UARM equations :

Example 1 : VROOOOM! A motor bike passes a green traffic light while moving at a velocity of 6.00 m/s. It then accelerates at 0.300 m/s2 for 15.0 s. What is the bike’s velocity at 15.0s?

Example 3: Doggie on the Road •
Kat is driving around campus when she sees a dog in the middle of the road. She steps on the brakes and decelerates from a speed of 120 km/h to a complete stop during a displacement of 91 m at constant acceleration to avoid hitting the dog.
a. What is the acceleration? Given: v, v0, delta x Required: a Missing Quantity: t Equation to use?
b. How much time is required for the given decrease in speed? Given: v, v0, delta x, a Required: t Equation to use?
The Use of Missing Variables 1. Check for the given (supplied data) in the problem 2. Make sure it is stated that the motion is uniformly accelerated (or has uniform velocity) and is rectilinear (straight, narrow, flat paths) 3. Check for what is needed or required 4. Then check which variable is missing! •
After the abovementioned steps, determine the equation to use, then solve!
Example 4 : Road trip A car has an initial velocity of 20 m/s and an acceleration of -1.0 m/s2. (a) Find its displacement after the 10 s from the moment the acceleration begins. (b) How far will the car have gone when it comes to a stop?
Example 5: CREEPY WHITE LADY • On
a highway at night you see a white lady and brake your car to a stop with an acceleration of -5.6 m/s2. What is the car's stopping distance if its initial speed is a) 17 m/s? b) 28 m/s?
