5. Acceleration __________
Velocity is a vector quantity therefore, acceleration is also a vector quantity
Average acceleration, aav, is the change in velocity divided by the time interval for that change:
where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, and Δt is the time interval.
Instantaneous acceleration …………..

7. Speeding up or Slowing Down
Since acceleration is the change in velocity, you can have acceleration as an object speeds up (positive acceleration) AND when it slows down (negative acceleration)
Both display a change in velocity
What do you think the slope of the VT graph tells you?

8. Uniform vs. Nonuniform Acceleration
Uniform acceleration is motion that ______
Nonuniform acceleration is motion that doesn’t travel in a straight line and/or doesn’t change it speed uniformly.

10. Average Acceleration
Since the change of velocity of a moving object is the final velocity (vf) minus the initial velocity (vi), the equation for acceleration can be written
