Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.
Demo
In this tutorial you will learn how to calculate uniform acceleration.
The equation is written like this:
${ \text v^{2} \; \text – \; \text u^{2} \; \text = \; \text 2as}$
Chilled practice question
A racing car travelling at 20 m/s decelerates uniformly at 1.5 m/s2 towards a slip road 100 m away. Calculate its velocity when it reaches the slip road.
Frozen practice question
A ball is dropped 12 m from the top of a building. Calculate the velocity of the ball when it hits the ground. Ignore any value for air resistance. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2
Science in context
Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.
