1.5 - Uniformly Accelerated Motion*

*And the "Big Five" equations that describe it

Students will be able to:

Describe an object's motion as it undergoes uniform acceleration, including changes to velocity, displacement, and so on.
Correctly choose and utilize each of the "Big Five UAM equations" to solve for an unknown kinematics variable

Start by watching the Flipping Physics video, Introduction to Uniformly Accelerated Motion.
Watch my 1.5 lecture video, and copy it into your notes.
Compile any questions for Mr. DePo and the class.
Attempt problem set 1.5.
Check your answers against the answer key provided for problem set 1.5. Submit your work for grading.

1.5 Lecture Video

Please note: In most of his videos, Mr. P from Flipping Physics talks about there being only 3 or 4 physics equations that describe uniform acceleration... I just happen to give you five ;) You're welcome.

Understanding Uniromly Accelerated Motion - FlippingPhysics

This is a very introductory video that talks about what uniform acceleration is, and how it affects velocity depending on its direction and magnitude.

Intro. Uniformly Accelerated Motion Problem - FlippingPhysics

A worked-out problem using one of our Big Five UAM equations. Note that Mr. P uses delta x instead of delta d to denote position/displacement, but the equation is otherwise the same.
