9.2 Calculating Acceleration The acceleration of an object depends on the change in velocity and the time required to change the velocity. When stopping a moving object, the relationship between time and acceleration is: –Increasing the stopping time decreases the acceleration –Decreasing the stopping time increases the acceleration Airbags cause the person to slow down in a longer period of time compared to hitting a solid object, such as the dashboard. This increased time results in a smaller deceleration.

Velocity-Time Graphs The motion of an object with uniform motion is best represented by a position-time graph. The motion of an object with a changing velocity is best represented by a velocity-time graph. The slope of a velocity-time graph is average acceleration. Acceleration is measured in m/s 2.

Determining Motion from a Velocity- Time Graph A velocity-time graph can be analyzed to describe the motion of an object. –Positive slope (positive acceleration) – object’s velocity is increasing in the positive direction. –Zero slope (zero acceleration) – object’s velocity is constant. –Negative slope (negative acceleration) – object’s velocity is decreasing in the positive direction or the object’s velocity is increasing in the negative direction.
