Acceleration Flashcards
1
Q
What is acceleration?
A
Acceleration is NOT the same as velocity or speed. Acceleration is the change in velocity in a certain amount of time.
2
Q
How to find average acceleration?
A
a = (v - u) / t
a = acceleration (m/s^2)
u = initial
v = final
v - u = change in velocity (m/s)
t = time (s)
3
Q
What is initial velocity?
A
Initial velocity is the starting velocity of an object.
4
Q
What is deceleration?
A
Negative acceleration
