■What is acceleration?
■What is Uniformly Accelerated Motion?
■What are the equations used to solve
problems of uniformed accelerated
motion horizontally?
 ACCELERATION Uniformly
The rate at which velocity changes over Accelerated
time; the change in velocity may be in Motion
magnitude, or direction, or both.
Acceleration of
an object that
has a motion of
constant,
uniform change
in velocity over
a period of time.

Uniformly Accelerated Motion:
VERTICAL DIMENSION
OBJECTIVES
■ Describe the Uniformly Accelerated Motion
(UAM) qualitatively and quantitatively.

■ Identify the equations involved in Uniformly

Accelerated Motion in Vertical dimension

■ Solve problems involving UAM in vertical

dimension

GALILEO GALILEI
We remember Galileo for several things:
■ He was the first to observe the
heavens through a telescope (which
he had designed and built)
■ He was persecuted for advocating the
Earth went around the Sun.
■ But he also: Was a pioneer of
physics, introducing the idea of
experiments--rather than try guess
what nature might be doing, using
logical arguments, observe what it
does do.
FREE FALL
■Objects in motion solely under
the influence of gravity are said
to be in FREE FALL.
■ The objects can be either
dropped or thrown.
Free Fall Acceleration
• An object that is having a free
fall has an acceleration of 9.8
2
m/𝑠 due to gravity. This
acceleration is uniform until it
reaches the ground. Take note
that the velocity of an object
increases to 9.8m/𝒔𝟐 every
second.

What we see because of air resistance…
AIR RESISTANCE
■ A resistance force caused by air molecules
opposing the motion of an object as it moves
through the air.
■ A form of friction sometimes called drag.
