Acceleration = rate of change in velocity

Acceleration = change in velocity time a = acceleration vf = final velocity vi = initial velocity

a =

Vf - Vi t

• Acceleration- has direction, just like velocity. • Acceleration is a VECTOR (it has both a magnitude and a direction).

• The roller coaster accelerates both because its speed changes and its direction

For its velocity to change, an object must accelerate. An object accelerates whenever its speed or direction or both change. So this means….

An object moving in a circle at constant speed is always accelerating (changing direction).

Acceleration at constant speed How can you accelerate at a constant speed?

It’s like gravity. An object’s velocity gets faster every second, but it gets faster at the same rate. Objects accelerate toward the earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. In other words they fall 9.8m/s faster every second.

An object is moving with uniform acceleration. Its positions at one-second interval are shown below. t = 0 s

t = 1 s

t = 2 s

t = 3 s

t = 4 s

0.4 , 0.7 , 1.0 , 1.3 is an arithmetic progression with a common difference 0.3. This is an important characteristic of motion with uniform acceleration.

ACCELERATION

Acceleration is the change in speed in an object in a period of time. change in Where do the units come from? Δv velocity (m/s) a=v÷t acceleration a = m/s ÷ s a Δt (m/s/s) a = m/s/s change in time (s)

=m/s2 It takes a cyclist 20 seconds to go from a standing start to 14m/s. What is their acceleration?

a = Δv/Δt a = 14m/s / 20s

What is 14m/s in km/hr?

= 14 × 60s × 60min ÷ 1000m

a = 0.7ms-2

= 50.4km/hr

A cyclist accelerates from 0 to 10m/s in 5 seconds. What is her acceleration?



A ball is dropped and accelerates downwards at a rate of 10m/s2 for 12 seconds. How much will the ball’s velocity increase by?



A car accelerates from 10 to 20m/s with an acceleration of 2m/s2. How long did this take?



A rocket accelerates from 1,000m/s to 5,000m/s in 2 seconds. What is its acceleration?

SPEED/TIME GRAPHS Using the speed/time graph: 3. What distance is covered in part 1? d=v×t d = 4m/s × 10s d = 40 m

4. What is the total distance covered?

Part 1 = 40m 10

Part 2 = 0m Part 3 = 0m Part 5 = v × t

= 8m/s × 10 s

= 80m

Part 4 = v × t ×

= 8m/s × 5s ×

= 20m

Total

= 40 + 80 + 20
