1
Q
what is acceleration
A
the rate of change of velocity
2
Q
The change in velocity can be calculated using the equation…
A
change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity
triangle v= v-u
3
Q
equation for acceleration
A
acceleration (m/s^2)=change in velocity(m/s) / time taken (s)
4
Q
This equation applies to objects in uniform acceleration:
A
(final velocity)^2 - (initial velocity)^2 = 2 × acceleration × distance
