Constant Acceleration Motion
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: Constant acceleration motion is the subject that examines the motion of objects with constant acceleration. This subject covers displacement, velocity, acceleration, equations of motion (s = ut + ½at², v² = u² + 2as), and free fall. The TYT exam focuses on fundamental equations and falling, while the AYT exam focuses on inclined plane and graphical analysis. The current 2025 curriculum also covers motion sensors and simulation technologies. Learning this topic forms the basis for mechanical analysis.
