Presentation transcript:

Acceleration What does the word “acceleration” mean? The change in velocity each second.

Acceleration How many speeds ( or “velocities”) would you need to have to work out an acceleration? 2

Acceleration What words mean “the speed at a moment in time”? Instantaneous Speed

Acceleration How did you measure “instantaneous speed”? Pass an object through a light gate attached to a timer. Then “instantaneous speed = object length / time to cut beam”

Power Supply Timer X Light gate

Acceleration What letter did we use for “initial speed” ? u

Acceleration What letter did we use for “final speed” ? v

Acceleration What equation did we come up with for acceleration “a” ? a = (v – u) / t
