Q

• Free fall: An object falling under the influence of gravity (neglecting air resistance) experiences uniformly accelerated motion.

• A car accelerating at a constant rate: When a car increases its speed at a steady pace, it’s undergoing uniformly accelerated motion.

• An object sliding down a frictionless inclined plane: The object’s velocity increases at a constant rate due to gravity.

Q

is focused on uniformly accelerated motion that occurs along a horizontal plane. This means the object’s acceleration is constant, and its movement is in a straight line along the x-axis.

A

UAM in horizontal dimension

17
Q

o The acceleration value remains the same throughout the motion.
o This acceleration causes the object’s horizontal velocity to change at a steady rate.

A

Constant Horizontal Acceleration

18
Q

o The object moves along a horizontal axis (like a level road or surface).

A

Straight-Line Motion

19
Q

we’re referring to uniformly accelerated motion that occurs along a vertical axis. The most common and significant example of this is motion under the influence of gravity, often referred to as “free fall.”

A

UAM Vertical Dimension

20
Q

o It is very important to keep track of the direction of the acceleration, and velocity. Using positive and negative signs to denote the direction of those vectors.

21
Q

o Uniform horizontal acceleration occurs when the net force acting on the object in the horizontal direction is constant.

22
Q

o If friction is constant, it will result in a constant negative acceleration (deceleration).

23
Q

o The acceleration is constant and primarily due to gravity. Near the Earth’s surface, this acceleration is approximately 9.8 m/s² (or 32 ft/s²) downward.
o This value is often represented by the symbol “g.”

A

Constant Vertical Acceleration:

24
Q

o The object moves along the y-axis (up and down).

A

Vertical Motion

25
o Gravity is the dominant force causing the acceleration. o Therefore, the acceleration is always directed downward.
Influence of Gravity
26
A special case where the only force acting on the object is gravity (neglecting air resistance).
Free Fall
27
o In real-world situations, air resistance can significantly affect vertical motion.
Air Resistance
28
o It's crucial to establish a consistent sign convention (e.g., upward as positive, downward as negative) when applying the equations of motion.
Direction
29
is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the path of an object thrown or launched into the air, subject only to the acceleration of gravity.
Projectile motion
30
o The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory. In ideal scenarios (neglecting air resistance), this trajectory is a parabola.
Trajectory
31
In the absence of air resistance, the horizontal velocity remains constant.
Horizontal Motion
32
In real-world scenarios, air resistance plays a significant role, affecting the trajectory and range of the projectile.
Air Resistance
33
The constant downward acceleration due to gravity.
Gravity
34
The angle at which the projectile is launched relative to the horizontal.
Launch Angle:
35
The speed and direction at which the projectile is launched.
