Acceleration

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

Acceleration can be classified as _____________.

Back

All of the above (Speeding up, Slowing Down, Changing directions).

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed in a specific direction.

Front

Which of the following is a vector?

Back

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction.

Front

In which situation would a car be speeding up while traveling forward?

Back

Positive velocity and positive acceleration.

Front

What units are used to measure acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

Negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

How can acceleration be calculated?

Back

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

Front

What is uniform acceleration?

Back

Uniform acceleration occurs when an object's acceleration is constant over time.
