P2.1.3 - Acceleration Flashcards
1
Q
What is acceleration?
A
The change in velocity per second
2
Q
What does uniform acceleration mean?
A
It means it does not change
3
Q
How do you calculate acceleration if you know the change in velocity or the final and initial velocity?
A
Acceleration (m/s^2)=
Final velocity (m/s) - Initial Velocity (m/s)
————————————————————-
Time(s)
4
Q
What unit do you use for acceleration?
A
m/s squared
5
Q
How do you get negative acceleration?
A
If the object loses speed
