Uniform:
Example: Two cars A and B. A is moving at a speed vA = 12 m/s, and starts from O.
Time equation:
Car A: xA = vA × t + x0 = 12 × t
0
Car B: xB = vB × t + x0 = 10 × t + 6

Characteristics of U.A.R.M:
Uniform:
Accelerated:
v – v0 = a × t
v = a × t + v0
If v0 = 0 => v = a × t .
v/t = a => v = a × t
X = ½ at2 + v0t + x0
= a => x = ½ a t2
