Objects moving under acceleration Imagine a particle moving in a straight line with constant (uniform) acceleration What other measures should we consider in our model? a acceleration t time Key Q: what do we mean by constant acceleration?; what is the difference between distance and displacement (s) u initial velocity v final velocity s displacement What are typical units for these measures?
First uniform acceleration equation (1)
First uniform acceleration equation WB1 A train starts from rest at a station and moves with constant acceleration. 35 seconds later it passes a signal box with a speed of 50 ms-1 What is its acceleration in ms-2 ? 𝑠= u = v = a = t = 50=0+𝑎(35) 𝒗=𝒖+𝒂𝒕 𝑎= 50 35 = 10 7 𝑚𝑠 −2

Third uniform acceleration equation and (3) Key Q: Given first two eqns how can we use substitution to derive eqn 3 and 4?;
Third uniform acceleration equation example WB3 A space shuttle travelling at 20 kms-1 slows with a deceleration of 45 ms-2 for 2 minutes. How many km will it have travelled? 𝑠= u = v = a = t = 𝒔=𝒖𝒕+ 𝟏 𝟐 𝒂 𝒕 𝟐 𝑠=20000×120+(−45) 120 2 𝑠=1752000 𝑠=1752 𝑘𝑚
Fourth uniform acceleration equation and so (4)
Changing units of speed Change these measures to metres per second or km per hour 20 km/h → 30 ms-1 → Key Q: what steps to convert kmph to mph or ms-1 360 km/h →
Fourth uniform acceleration equation example WB4 A car is following a Lorry going at 60 kmph on the motorway. The car constantly accelerates at 3 ms-2 to overtake the lorry and keeps accelerating for the 120 metres it takes to overtake. How fast is the car travelling once it has overtaken the lorry? Give your answer in kmph. Does this seem likely for a real life model? 𝑠= u = v = a = t = 𝒗 𝟐 = 𝒖 𝟐 +𝟐𝒂𝒔 𝑣 2 = 60×1000 3600 2 +2 3 (120) 𝑣 2 = 8980 9 ≅998 𝑣= 998 ×3600 1000 ≅114 𝑘𝑚𝑝ℎ 60 𝑘𝑚𝑝ℎ is 37.5 𝑚𝑝ℎ and 114 𝑘𝑚𝑝ℎ is 71.25 𝑚𝑝ℎ
