FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) can be calculated using the formula: a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of acceleration in the SI system is meters per second squared (m/s²).

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If an object is slowing down, what is the sign of its acceleration?

Back

If an object is slowing down, its acceleration is negative, indicating a decrease in velocity.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a positive acceleration indicate about an object's motion?

Back

A positive acceleration indicates that an object's velocity is increasing over time.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you determine the time taken for an object to accelerate from an initial velocity to a final velocity?

Back

You can determine the time taken using the formula: time = (final velocity - initial velocity) / acceleration.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between acceleration, force, and mass according to Newton's second law?

Back

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = m * a).
