2. What is it? • Definition: • Linear acceleration is simply how quickly you can speed up in a strait line • In physics terms it is the rate of change of velocity • It is a vector

3. Example in sport • 100M Sprinters • Sports that gradually increase in speed in a strait line

4. Linear velocity Ebba Nobreus

5. What Is it? • Definition: • Linear velocity is a measure of both the speed and direction an object is traveling at a constant speed. • Linear velocity is velocity along a straight line, and its magnitude is commonly measured in such units as meters per second (m/s).

6. Examples in sport • A marathon runner • Cyclists • Sports where the athlete has a constant speed throughout..
