If the speed of an object (such as the car in Figure 1.3) is changing, its motion is said to be non-
uniform or accelerated. If its speed is changing at a constant rate, then the object is said to be
experiencing constant acceleration and the magnitude of its constant acceleration is given by
Av

At
