  1. 3 Acceleration

  2. You can calculate acceleration by dividing the change in velocity by the change in distance. • An object accelerates when either its speed or its direction changes. • 3 • Acceleration

  3. 3 Acceleration What are three ways an object can accelerate? What does a speed-time graph indicate about an object’s motion?

  5. 3 Acceleration Is velocity changing? Look at the photo at the beginning of the lesson. How does the velocity of this motorcycle racer change as he speeds along the track? As he enters a curve, he slows down, leans to the side, and changes direction. On a straightaway, he speeds up and moves in a straight line. How can the velocity of a moving object change?

  7. You can calculate acceleration by dividing the change in velocity by the change in distance. 3 Acceleration Disagree. Acceleration is calculated by dividing change in velocity by change in time.

  8. An object accelerates when either its speed or its direction changes. 3 Acceleration Agree. An object accelerates when it speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

  9. What are three ways an object can accelerate? 3 Acceleration Acceleration is a change in velocity over time. An object accelerates when it speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

  10. What does a speed-time graph indicate about an object’s motion? 3 Acceleration A speed-time graph shows the relationship between speed and time and can be used to determine information about the acceleration of an object.
