A

change in velocity, magnitude and direction, uses m/s2

Q

uniform acceleration

A

simplest case of acceleration, no change in acceleration -> velocity changes in a constant way, examples; falling down in a vacuum, rolling on an inclined plane

Q

formula

A

a = v/t
a = acceleration (m/s2), v = change in velocity (m/s), t = time it took (s)
