Acceleration
Acceleration is how quickly the velocity is changing whether it be speed, direction or both. Acceleration is a measure of how quickly the velocity of an object is changing.
Demo
In this tutorial you will learn how to calculate the acceleration of a moving object.
The equation is written like this:
$a = { v \unicode{x2013} u \over \text{t}}$
Chilled practice question
Calculate the acceleration if the velocity increases from 4 m/s to 76 m/s in 8 s.
Frozen practice question
How long does it take for the velocity of a bus to increase from 12 m/s to 20 m/s if it is accelerating at 4 m/s2.
Science in context
Acceleration is how quickly the velocity is changing whether it be speed, direction or both.
