2
Q
What does uniform acceleration mean?
A
It means that the acceleration does not change
3
Q
How do you calculate acceleration if you know the change in velocity?
A
You use the equation change in velocity/time
4
Q
What is the unit for acceleration?
A
M/s squared
5
Q
How do you get negative acceleration?
A
If the object loses speed
6
Q
How do you calculate acceleration if you know the final and initial velocity?
A
Final Velocity - Initial Velocity/time
