Two ways. Use an equation of motion: u=initial velocity, v=final velocity, a=acceleration, t= time and s=displacement:
v=u+at
s=ut+1/2at2
v2- u2 = 2as
Or, plot a v/t graph and find the area underneath it at a particular time.
Uniform velocity means the velocity is not changing. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If velocity isn't changing, the rate of change is zero.
The acceleration of a vehicle moving with uniform velocity is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the velocity is constant and not changing, then the acceleration is zero.
A body experiencing uniform motion does not have any acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and since the velocity of a body in uniform motion remains constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.
this my sound rather daft but this is a bit of a trick question, the speed is the same so straight away you would think the acceleration is constant right....???? Wrong the displacement of the object is changing (displacement is the distance being travelled with a direction, a vector quantity.) as the displacement is changing so is the velocity, as velocity is displacement/time. as the velocity is changing so is the acceleration because acceleration is then change in velocity divided by time.
If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.
During uniform motion, velocity is constant, so there is zero acceleration. Non-uniform motion involves a change in velocity, which means there is acceleration. Accelaration is a change in velocity. A change in velocity occurs when a body slows down, speeds up, or turns (changes direction), or a combination of these.
No, an object cannot maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero. If an object is accelerating, its velocity will be changing over time, so it cannot maintain a constant velocity. Uniform velocity means the speed and direction of the object remains constant.
Velocity is uniform when an object moves at a constant speed in a straight line without changing direction. This means that the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. Uniform velocity indicates a consistent rate of motion without acceleration or deceleration.
To find the uniform acceleration that causes a car's velocity to change, you can use the equation: Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. This formula allows you to calculate the rate at which the car's velocity is changing over a specific period of time.
Uniform velocity is constant speed in a straight line, while variable velocity changes in speed or direction over time. Uniform velocity has no acceleration, whereas variable velocity may have acceleration due to changes in speed or direction.
If a body is moving with a uniform velocity, its acceleration will be zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity over time and thus zero acceleration.
