Acceleration

Question 1

What is acceleration?

Answer 1

Acceleration is the change in velocity in the certain amount of time. - How quickly you’re speeding up.

Question 2

What is the equation for acceleration?

Answer 2

Acceleration (m/s^2) = Change in velocity (m/s) / Time (s)

Question 3

What is deceleration ?

Answer 3

It is negative acceleration ( of something slows down, the change in the velocity is negative )

Question 4

What is constant acceleration sometimes called ?

Answer 4

Uniform acceleration.

Question 5

What equation do you use to calculate uniform acceleration ?

Answer 5

V^2 - u^2 = 2as

Final velocity (m/s) - Initial velocity (m/s) = 2 x Acceleration (m/s^2) x Distance (m)
