2. Analyze an acceleration graph Compare acceleration to velocity
Objectives
Analyze an acceleration graph
Compare acceleration to velocity

3. 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

4. Speed
