The Cheetah: A cat that is built for speed. Its strength and
agility allow it to sustain a top speed of over 100 km/h. Such
speeds can only be maintained for about ten seconds.

Objectives: After completing this
module, you should be able to:
• Define and apply concepts of average and
instantaneous velocity and acceleration.
• Solve problems involving initial and final
velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time.
• Demonstrate your understanding of directions
and signs for velocity, displacement, and
acceleration.
• Solve problems involving a free-falling body in
a gravitational field.
Uniform Acceleration
in One Dimension:
• Motion is along a straight line (horizontal,
vertical or slanted).
• Changes in motion result from a CONSTANT
force producing uniform acceleration.
• The cause of motion will be discussed later.
Here we only treat the changes.
• The moving object is treated as though it
were a point particle.

Example 1. A runner runs 200 m, east, then
changes direction and runs 300 m, west. If
the entire trip takes 60 s, what is the average
speed and what is the average velocity?
Recall that average

speed is a function
only of total distance

Definition of Acceleration
 An acceleration is the change in velocity
per unit of time. (A vector quantity.)
 A change in velocity requires the
application of a push or pull (force).
A formal treatment of force and acceleration will
be given later. For now, you should know that:
• The direction of acceleration is same as
direction of force.
• The acceleration is
proportional to the
magnitude of the force.
