A measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.
acceleration
Just like velocity, acceleration is represented by
a arrow
When the Arrow is pointing the other direction it is
deceleration
car in this picture is moving at a constant speed, so the velocity arrow is always the
same
Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by
The time interval during which the velocity changes.
If you get a negative number
it slows down
in a speed time graph time is represented on the
x axis
in a speed time graph speed is on the
y axis
When the line is horizontal that means that the
y=0
the line on the right slants upwards
its speeding up
When a object slows down it slopes
slopes downward
