SP1c Acceleration

Question 1

Recall the formula relating acceleration, velocity and time.

Answer 1

a = change in velocity/change in time

Question 2

Recall the equation relating acceleration,

velocity and distance.

Answer 2

(final velocity)2 – (initial velocity)2 = 2 × acceleration × distance

Question 3

Recall the acceleration in free fall.

Answer 3

10m/s2

Question 4

Estimate the magnitudes of some everyday accelerations.

Answer 4

family car=2-3m/s
falling object=10m/s
manned spacecraft=30m/s
formula 1=50m/s2
