Chapters

Learning objectives

Recognize uniformly accelerated motion as constant acceleration.
Relate equal time intervals to equal velocity changes.
Interpret the constant slope of a velocity–time graph.
Explain why position changes nonlinearly.
Predict trolley motion from initial velocity and acceleration.

Key concepts

Uniformly accelerated motion has one constant acceleration value. Velocity changes linearly with time, while position changes along a curved time relationship.

Try these experiments

Run the level rail at 2 m/s² and compare photogate intervals.
Use the incline and observe the constant acceleration arrow.
Compare 2 m/s² with 6 m/s².
Apply negative acceleration and predict the stopping point.

Questions for exploration

Why do position gaps grow during equal time intervals?
How does initial velocity shift the motion without changing acceleration?
Why does a steeper velocity graph mean greater acceleration?
