1 Acceleration

2 How will the box move? 16 N8 N

3 Key Variable - New Acceleration –the rate of change in velocity. Measured – indirectly using velocity, distance and time or using an ACCELEROMETER Units = m/s 2 When acted on by a net external force An object will ALWAYS accelerate

4 Key equation Change in velocity a = Δ v t

5 Acceleration in a Velocity v. Time Graph Slope will tell rate of acceleration Acceleration from gravity is a constant 9.81 m/s 2 (rounds to 10)

6 Teacher Example C Pick three ways you can safely accelerate a car and describe how each is classified as acceleration.

7 Teacher Example C

8 Student Example B

9 Describe the motion Distance (m)
