What is uniform acceleration?

Uniform acceleration is a type of motion in which the acceleration of an object remains constant over a period of time. This means that the velocity of the object changes at a constant rate. It is often depicted graphically as a straight line on a velocity-time graph.

In uniform acceleration, the change in velocity is directly proportional to the change in time. The formula for calculating uniform acceleration is:

a = (v_f - v_i) / t

Where:

a = uniform acceleration v_f = final velocity v_i = initial velocity t = time taken

Uniform acceleration is used in many physics calculations, such as determining the time and distance required for an object to reach a certain velocity or position. It is also a key component of Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it.
