The motion of an object whose velocity increases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time
In what type of motion is uniform acceleration commonly observed?

Study Notes
Uniform Acceleration
- Uniform acceleration is a type of motion where the acceleration of an object remains constant over a period of time.
- It is commonly observed in motion under the influence of a constant force, such as an object falling under gravity.
Characteristics of Uniform Acceleration
- In uniform acceleration, the velocity of an object changes at a constant rate, resulting in a linear increase or decrease in velocity.
- The velocity of an object in uniform acceleration changes by equal amounts in equal time intervals.
Test your knowledge of the motion of objects with uniform acceleration, where velocity increases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time. Example: the motion of a body falling freely under gravity.
