Uniform Acceleration and Graphical Representation

Uniform Acceleration

• Uniform acceleration occurs when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate.
• The acceleration of an object is uniform if it travels equal distances in equal times.
• The acceleration is constant, meaning it does not change with time.

Graphical Representation

• Distance-Time Graphs:
  • A straight line indicates uniform motion.
  • A curved line indicates non-uniform motion.
  • The slope of the line represents the velocity.
• Velocity-Time Graphs:
  • A straight line indicates uniform acceleration.
  • A curved line indicates non-uniform acceleration.
  • The slope of the line represents the acceleration.
  • The area under the curve represents the displacement.

Equations of Motion

• First Equation of Motion:
  • v = u + at
  • where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
• Second Equation of Motion:
  • s = ut + (1/2)at^2
  • where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
• Third Equation of Motion:
  • v^2 = u^2 + 2as
  • where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the displacement.

Relative Motion

• Relative Motion: The motion of an object relative to another object or a frame of reference.
• Types of Relative Motion:
  • Translational Motion: When two objects move in the same direction.
  • Rotational Motion: When two objects move in a circular path.
• Relative Velocity: The velocity of one object relative to another object or a frame of reference.
• Relative Acceleration: The acceleration of one object relative to another object or a frame of reference.

Uniform Acceleration

• Uniform acceleration occurs when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate.
• The acceleration of an object is uniform if it travels equal distances in equal times.
• The acceleration is constant, meaning it does not change with time.

Graphical Representation

• Distance-time graphs show uniform motion with a straight line and non-uniform motion with a curved line.
• The slope of the distance-time graph represents the velocity.
• Velocity-time graphs show uniform acceleration with a straight line and non-uniform acceleration with a curved line.
• The slope of the velocity-time graph represents the acceleration.
• The area under the velocity-time graph represents the displacement.

Equations of Motion

• The first equation of motion is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
• The second equation of motion is s = ut + (1/2)at^2, where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
• The third equation of motion is v^2 = u^2 + 2as, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the displacement.
