17. Motion, Forces and Conservation of Energy: Acceleration Flashcards
1
Q
What is acceleration?
A
Change in velocity over certain amount of time
2
Q
What is uniform acceleration?
A
(Constant acceleration)
Acceleration due to gravity is uniform for objects in free fall
10m/s^2 near earths surface
3
Q
How do you Estimate acceleration?
A
Acceleration = ( v - u ) / time
V is final velocity
U is initial velocity
