Uniformly Accelerated Motion
Gerak Lurus Berubah Beraturan (GLBB)
What is a uniformly accelerated motion?
In figure , we can see that at t= 0, the car is at rest or its velocity is zero.
One second later, its velocity becomes 10 m/s.
At the next second the velocity changes into 20 m/s, and ten it changes into 30 m/s at the following
second.
Thereby, the car’s velocity changes 10 m/s in every one second
Uniformly accelerated motion is a motion in a straight-line with a uniform change in velocity.
Graph of velocity as a function of time on a uniformly accelerated motion
Acceleration:
The rate change of velocity of a moving body is called acceleration. Which is mathematically formulated
as:
α = acceleration (m/s2)
V t =¿the final velocity (m/s)
V o =¿the initial velocity (m/s)
t = time (s)
If we achieve the following result from calculation”
α = (+), then the body moves in a uniformly accelerated motion (GLBB dipercepat)
α = (-), then the body moves in a uniformly decelerated motion (GLBB diperlambat)
V t =¿the final velocity (m/s)
V o =¿the initial velocity (m/s)
α = acceleration (m/s2)
t = time (s)
s = distance (m)
Example:
1. Sebuah mobil bergerak dengan kecepatan tetap 36 km/jam. Berapa meterkah jarak yang ditempuh
mobil itu setelah bergerak 10 menit?
km 36000 m
Given: V = 36 = =10 m/s
jam 3600 s
t = 10 menit = 10 × 60 = 600 s
Asked: S
Answered: S = v x t
S = 10 x 600 = 6000 m
2. A body moves in a uniformly decelerated motion with initial speed of 30 m/s so that it stops in 10
seconds. What is acceleration?
Given: V o =¿ 30 m/s
V t =¿ 0 m/s
t = 10 s
Asked: α
V t −V o 0 m/ s−30 m/s −30 m/s 2
Answered: α = = = =−3 m/s (the minus sign indicates that the
t 10 s 10 s
body is decelerated)
3. Sebuah mobil yang mula-mula diam bergerak di percepat beraturan hingga kecepatannya menjadi
72 km/jam setelah bergerak selama 5 s. Percepatan yang di alami mobil tersebut adalah…
Given: V o =¿ 0 m/s
km 72000 m
V t =¿ 72 km/jam = 72 = =20 m/ s
jam 3600 s
t=5s
Asked: α
Answered:
V t −V o 20 m/ s−0 m/s 20 m/s
α= = = =4 m/s 2
t 5s 5s
4. A car which is initially at rest moves with acceleration of 10 m/s 2. What is its speed after 2 seconds?
Given: α = 10 m/s2
V o =¿ 0 m/s
t =2s
V
Asked: t
Answered: V t =V o +¿ α.t
V t =0 m/s +¿ ¿10 m/s2. 2 s
V t =¿0 + 20 m/s = 20 m/s
5. Sebuah benda bergerak dengan percepatan 8 m/s 2. Jika kecepatan awal benda 6 m/s, tentukan
kecepatan benda setelah menempuh jarak 4 m!
a. 20 m/s
b. 15 m/s
c. 48 m/s
d. 10 m/s
Pembahasan:
Diketahui:
a = 8 m/s2
v0 = 6 m/s
s=4m
Ditanyakan: vt ….?
Jawaban:
vt2 = v02 + 2 a . s
vt2 = 62 + 2. 8 . 4
vt2 = 36 + 64
vt2 = 100
vt = 10 m/s
Jadi, kecepatan benda setelah menempuh jarak 4 m adalah 10 m/s
Jawaban: d
