ACCELERATION 1

Acceleration: is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes relative to time 2

ACCELERATION Acceleration: is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes relative to change in time Acceleration = 3

ACCELERATION Acceleration: is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes relative to change in time Acceleration = Acceleration is a vector  Because velocity is a vector 4

ACCELERATION Velocity has speed and direction  Velocity can be changed by: 1. a change in speed 2. a change in direction 3. a change in both speed and direction  Acceleration can occur with: 1. a change in speed 2. a change in direction 3. a change in both speed and direction 5

Acceleration means that the speed of an object is changing, or its direction is, or both.

Acceleration Acceleration may result in an object either speeding up or slowing down (or simply changing its direction).

Acceleration There is a difference between negative acceleration and deceleration: Negative acceleration is acceleration in the negative direction as defined by the coordinate system. Deceleration occurs when the acceleration is opposite in direction to the velocity.

Acceleration If the acceleration is constant, we can find the velocity as a function of time:
