accelerated motion problems

. Thus, it is clear that the term 'acceleration' need not always mean that the speed of a moving body is always increasing, it can also decrease, remain the same or become zero. In general, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of a moving body with time. Thi..

. In general, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of a moving body with time. This change could be a change in the speed of the object or its direction of motion or both. Now let us get a mathematical formula for calculating acceleration. Let an o..

Uniformly Accelerated Motion - Introduction - Most of the motion that we come across in daily life is non-uniform motion. Moving objects are either 'speeding up' or 'slowing down'. In non-uniform motion, the velocity of the moving object changes, as..

Most of the motion that we come across in daily life is non-uniform motion. Moving objects are either 'speeding up' or 'slowing down'. In non-uniform motion, the velocity of the moving object changes, as a result of which the object is said to have an accele..

Relations for Uniformly Accelerated Motion (Graphical Treatment) - The velocity-time graph for uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (motion along a straight line), a > 0, is illustrated in the figure. The velocity-time graph for a uniformly r..

The velocity-time graph for uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (motion along a straight line), a > 0, is illustrated in the figure. The velocity-time graph for a uniformly retarded motion is as shown in the figure. Here a < 0, indicating retarda..

The velocity-time graph passes through the origin and is inclined to the time-axis such that the angle of inclination is greater than 0 o and less than 90 o..

If the velocity of an object increases then the object is said to be moving with positive acceleration...

If the velocity of an object decreases then the object is said to be moving with negative acceleration. Negative acceleration is also known as retardation or deceleration...

Definition - The acceleration of a moving point is the rate of change of its velocity. Note that the acceleration of a moving object is a vector, as it has both magnitude and direction. The acceleration is uniform when equal changes of velocity take place in equal inte..
