A | B |
Acceleration | change in velocity's rate |
positive acceleration | speed is increasing |
negative acceleration | speed is decreasing. |
Acceleration/direction | if speed is constant and the direction changes, an object has accelerated. |
Acceleration equation | Change in velocity / time(s) |
Change in velocity | final velocity - initial velocity. |
Velocity of object starting from rest | initial velocity = 0 |
Velocity of stopping object. | final velocity = 0 |
Unit for acceleration | meters per second squared |
Positive acceleration | positve number with a positive slope on a velocity-time graph. |
negative acceleration | negative number with a negative slope on a velocity-time graph. |
