Acceleration. NL 2.2. Acceleration : is a change in velocity. Because acceleration is a change in velocity and not speed you must also indicate direction You go faster if acceleration and velocity point in the same direction

  1. Acceleration NL 2.2

  2. Acceleration: is a change in velocity. • Because acceleration is a change in velocity and not speed you must also indicate direction • You go faster if acceleration and velocity point in the same direction • You slow down or decelerate if acceleration and velocity point in opposite directions

  3. When you accelerate or decelerate you change your velocity by a specific amount over a specific amount of time.

  4. Acceleration= Change in Velocity Time • Calculating Acceleration: • Units: meters/ second/ second OR m/s2 OR Acc.= Final Velocity – Initial Velocity Time

  5. Acceleration Brain Pop

  6. Newton’s Second Law • Newton’s Second Law states that the strength of a force is equal to the amount of mass involved multiplied by any acceleration applied to it. Or to make it more simple…

  9. Demonstration 1:

  10. You are predicting how far you think the dixie cup will move when hit by either the heavier container or the lighter container.

  11. Demonstration 2 • For this demo you will have a golf ball, a ping pong ball, and a straw. • You will blow through the straw to move the golf ball and ping pong ball. • You will predict whether it will require more force to move the ping pong ball or the golf ball

  12. Demonstration 2:
