Acceleration is measured in m/s-2.

(SI unit)
Displacement is the area under a velocity-time graph.
Acceleration is the gradient of a velocity-time graph.

Uniform
accelerated
motion:
In uniform
accelerated

motion, the acceleration is constant and the path of the object is


rectilinear.
Also, in uniform accelerated motion, the gradient is the same at
all points on the graph since the acceleration is constant.

Non-uniform accelerated motion:


In non-uniform accelerated motion, the acceleration at a point is
the gradient of the tangent at that point.

Acceleration caused by gravity:


It is called the acceleration of free fall. (no air friction)

a=g=9.81 ms-2
If the object is moving in the same direction as gravity, then its
acceleration is positive. (+9.81ms-2)
If the object is moving in the opposite direction to gravity, then its
acceleration is negative. (-9.81ms-2)

Components of a vector:

Projectile motion:
1) Projectile thrown on horizontal(initial velocity is zero)

Horizontal component:
Force=0
Acceleration=0
Velocity is constant
As a result, all the horizontal components of the velocities are
the same.
Vertical component: (free fall)
Initial velocity=0
Any of the four equations of motion can be used. (for these
equations, check the physics formulas section)
2) Projectile fired at an angle:
Horizontal component is still the same.
Vertical component:
Vertical displacement is zero, from the starting point to the final
point.
