ACCELERATION
Essential Questions: • How is acceleration different from
velocity? • How do graphs of acceleration
differ from graphs of other kinds of motion?

ACCELERATION SECTION4.3
¢ Rate of change in velocity
¢ If velocity changes, then acceleration occurs. That means if speed and/or direction change, acceleration occurs.
¢ Positive acceleration = speeding up
¢ Negative acceleration = slowing down

¢ Acceleration = change in velocity / time
¢ A = V finish – V start / T
Calculate the acceleration of a runner who goes from 2.0 m/s to 5.0 m/s in 2.0 seconds.
A = 5.0 m/s – 2.0 m/s ÷ 2.0 s A = 1.5 m/s2

GRAPHING ACCELERATION
¢ You don’t get a straight line because speed and/or direction is changing.

WHITE BOARD
¢ If a dog is going at a constant speed as it chases its tail, is it accelerating?
� Yes (because it is changing direction)
¢ If a skateboarder slows down to avoid running over a little kid, is he accelerating?
� Yes, slowing down is negative acceleration

WHITE BOARD
¢ If a bowling ball is rolling at a constant speed in a straight line, is it accelerating?
� No, because it is not changing its speed or direction.

¢ Does this graph show acceleration? � No, it is a straight line which means the car was going at
a constant velocity.

¢ Calculate the acceleration of a bus that goes from 10 m/s to 20 m/s in 5 seconds.
20 m/s – 10 m/s ÷ 5s = 2 m/s2

¢ Calculate the acceleration of a car that slows from 50 m/s to 30 m/s in 10 seconds.
30 m/s – 50 m/s ÷ 10s = -2 m/s2
