  1. An Introduction to Acceleration: Learning Goal • The student will solve example questions related to uniformly accelerated motion. (B2.7, B3.3) “It goes from zero to 60 in about 3 seconds.”

  2. An Introduction to Acceleration SPH4C

  3. Acceleration Acceleration is defined as the change in the velocity of an object per interval of time, or:

  4. Acceleration Acceleration is defined as the change in the velocity of an object per interval of time, or:

  5. Acceleration Acceleration is defined as the change in the velocity of an object per interval of time, or:

  6. Acceleration Acceleration is defined as the change in the velocity of an object per interval of time, or: v2 = final velocity and v1 = initial velocity

  7. Acceleration Acceleration will have units of m/s/s or m/s2. (Notice also that acceleration is a vector.)

  8. Example 1 Jake increases his velocity from 13 m/s [E] to 25 m/s [E] in 5.0 s. What is his acceleration?
