Acceleration Flashcards
1
Q
What is acceleration?
A
- change in velocity in a certain amount of time
2
Q
Equation for acceleration m/s^2
A
- change in velocity (m/s) / Time (s)
3
Q
What is constant acceleration called?
A
- uniform acceleration
4
Q
acceleration due to …. is … for object’s in free fall
What’s is roughly equal to?
A
- gravity, uniform
9.8 m/s
5
Q
Equation for uniform acceleration
A
= v^2 - u^2 = 2as
final velocity m/s - initial velocity m/s = 2 x acceleration m/s^2 x distance m
