Uniformly accelerated linear motionUniformly 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:
