Acceleration

a change in velocity ( speed or direction or both ) over time –speeding up or slowing down –changing direction moving in a circle is always changing direction

If acceleration is a negative number it is referred to as negative acceleration or deceleration

Acceleration on position-time graphs

acceleration causes the line to slope up on a speed vs. time graph

there is zero acceleration at constant speed because the speed does not change.

Math for Acceleration v f – v i a = v f – v i t a = acceleration v f = velocity final (speed at finish) v i = velocity initial (speed at start) t = time

Example Problem A car has an initial velocity of 3.4 m/s. After 3 seconds, its final velocity is 8.2 m/s. Calculate its acceleration. ** or can use m/s 2 which is same as m/s sec v i = 3.4m/s a = v f - v i v f = 8.2m/s t t = 3 sec. Given formula show work answer w/ units m/s sec 8.2m/s – 3.4m/s 3 sec 1.6

Example Problem A rocket is traveling 100 km/hr upwards. After 4.5 seconds, its velocity is 900 km/hr. Calculate its acceleration. v i = 100km/hr a = v f - v i v f = 900km/hr t t = 4.5 sec. Given formula show work answer w/ units km/hr sec 900km/hr – 100km/hr 4.5 sec 178

Free fall an object is in free fall if it is accelerating due to the force of gravity and NO other forces are acting on it (including air) supersonic free fall video (1:31)

The letter “g” is used for acceleration due to gravity. Falling objects increase their speed by 9.8 m/s every second, (9.8 m/s/s or 9.8 m/s 2 )
