ACCELERATED UNIFORM RECTILINEAR MOTION
v - vo
a= ; v = vo + at
t
2. The displacement ( s) may be calculated from
v - vo v - vo
S = vot + ½ a t2
1. S = vo .t + ½ a.t2
Vertical Motion
The vertical motion is an example of accelerated uniform
rectilinear motion. It is because the object which moves
vertically will be accelerated with constant acceleration and is
called gravitational acceleration. The vertical motion is
comprises of three kinds of motion, that are:
1. Downward vertical motion
If an object dropped from a high position with initial velocity is not
zero ( vo0), then the object will move downward, and it is accelerated
with constant acceleration. Such motion is called downward vertical
motion.
If the air friction and Other factor are neglected, then the equation
of the accelerated uniform rectilinear motion valid in downward
vertical motion is
• h = vo t + ½ g t 2
v = vo - gt
3. Free fall motion
