16. Uniformly accelerated linear motion

Uniformly accelerated linear motion refers:

Uniformly accelerated: the numerical value of acceleration is constant, so the value of the velocity changes at the same rate.

Linear: the trajectory is a straight line, so, the direction of the acceleration is constant.


Equations for UALM
As we have just seen, the acceleration in an UALM is always the same, and as a consequence, the velocity value changes.

Velocity time equation:

From the mathematical equation of the acceleration:

Position time equation:

Position for a uniformly accelerated linear motions can be determined using the equation:
