This model applies for a point particle subject to a constant acceleration that is either parallel to or antiparallel to the particle's initial velocity.
It is a subclass of the One-Dimensional Motion (General) model defined by the constraint da/dt = 0.

Model Specification

System Schema

Internal Constituents:  None.  Object must be treated as a point particle.

External Agents:  Some constant external influence must be present which produces the acceleration.

Descriptors

Object Variables:  None.

State Variables:  Time (t), position and velocity (v) are possible state variables.  Note that in some cases only two of the three possible state variables will be needed.

Interaction Variables:  Acceleration (a).

Laws of Interaction

Acceleration must be a constant.
