Acceleration

Question 1

What is acceleration?

Answer 1

Acceleration is NOT the same as velocity or speed. Acceleration is the change in velocity in a certain amount of time.

Question 2

How to find average acceleration?

Answer 2

a = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration (m/s^2)
u = initial
v = final
v - u = change in velocity (m/s)
t = time (s)

Question 3

What is initial velocity?

Answer 3

Initial velocity is the starting velocity of an object.

Question 4

What is deceleration?

Answer 4

Negative acceleration
