Objects with changing velocities cover different Objects with changing velocities cover different distances in equal time intervals. distances in equal time intervals.
AccelerationAcceleration
Rate at which an object’s velocity Rate at which an object’s velocity changes.changes.– When the velocity changes at a constant rate, When the velocity changes at a constant rate,
the object has constant acceleration.the object has constant acceleration.– Average Acceleration = change in velocity Average Acceleration = change in velocity
during a time intervalduring a time interval– Instantaneous acceleration = acceleration at Instantaneous acceleration = acceleration at
any instant.any instant.
Velocity-Time GraphVelocity-Time Graph
A A velocity-time graph velocity-time graph can be used to find can be used to find accelerationacceleration
The slope of the The slope of the velocity-time graph velocity-time graph gives the gives the acceleration.acceleration.
aa = = v / v / tt
a = (va = (vf f - v- vii) / ) / (t(tff - t - tii ) )
Positive and Negative AccelerationPositive and Negative Acceleration
Positive acceleration Positive acceleration means that the means that the acceleration vector is in acceleration vector is in the positive directionthe positive direction
Negative acceleration Negative acceleration means that the means that the acceleration vector is in acceleration vector is in the negative direction.the negative direction.– Positive and negative Positive and negative
acceleration acceleration do notdo not indicate speeding up or indicate speeding up or slowing down.slowing down.
Ex. #1:Ex. #1: A shuttle bus starts from rest A shuttle bus starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 9.00 m/s in and reaches a velocity of 9.00 m/s in 5.00 s. Find the average acceleration of 5.00 s. Find the average acceleration of the bus.the bus.
Given:Given: vvii = 0 = 0
vvff = 9.00 m/s = 9.00 m/s
tt = 5.00 s = 5.00 s
Find:Find: aa = ? = ?
a = (va = (vff - v - vii)) / / tt
= (9.00 m/s - 0)/(5.00 s) = (9.00 m/s - 0)/(5.00 s)

Given:Given: vvii = 0 m/s = 0 m/s
vvff = 27 m/s = 27 m/s
aa = 15 m/s = 15 m/s2 2
Find:Find: tt = ? = ?
a = (va = (vff - v - vii)) / / tt
t = (vt = (vff - v - vii) / a) / a
= (27 m/s - 0 m/s) / (15 m/s= (27 m/s - 0 m/s) / (15 m/s22))
= 1.8 s= 1.8 s
