Analyze an acceleration graph Compare acceleration to velocity Objectives Analyze an acceleration graph Compare acceleration to velocity
I. Acceleration- rate at which velocity changes over time A. Occurs if speed, direction, or both change B. Centripetal Acceleration- uniform circular motion is constant acceleration (towards the center) II. Calculating Acceleration Acceleration= final velocity – initial velocity/time or a=Δv/t m/s2 Can be determined by a speed-time graph
