Definition of uniform acceleration
Definition of uniform acceleration
Acceleration is constant throughout the journey
Speed behaviour with uniform acceleration
Speed behaviour with uniform acceleration
Speed always changes at the same rate
Speed ever constant with uniform acceleration?
Speed ever constant with uniform acceleration?
No, never constant as there is always acceleration
Equation for uniform acceleration (symbols)

What represents in
Displacement in m
Signs for vectors in opposite directions
Signs for vectors in opposite directions
Use + and - for vector quantities like velocity & acceleration
is displacement, not what?
is displacement, not what?
Not distance travelled if object changed direction
Distance when object changes direction
Distance when object changes direction
Calculate displacement before & after change, add them together
