This teaching unit continues the study of movement which we began in these two previous units: 

Moving bodies and Trajectory and Displacement

In this one we look separately at Uniform movement and Uniformly accelerating movement, although we constantly compare them.


 
OBJECTIVES
  • To recognize the characteristics of uniform rectilinear movements and uniformly accelerating movements.
  • To relate data tables with graphs.
  • To use the concept of the slope of a straight line to calculate velocities and acceleration.
  • To calculate the space covered by a moving body from its v/t .
  • To know and apply the equations of the movements studied.
