Acceleration Calculations

Front

What is the unit for acceleration?

Back

m/s²

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time

Front

What is negative acceleration also known as?

Back

Deceleration

Front

If a car's velocity decreases from 60 m/s to 20 m/s in 5 seconds, what is its acceleration?

Back

-8 m/s²

Front

What does a positive acceleration indicate?

Back

An increase in velocity.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

A decrease in velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average acceleration?

Back

Average Acceleration = (Change in Velocity) / (Time Interval)

Front

If a bicycle accelerates from 2 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 seconds, what is its acceleration?

Back

2 m/s²

Front

What is the acceleration of an object at rest?

Back

0 m/s²

Front

What is the significance of the acceleration due to gravity?

Back

It is approximately 9.8 m/s² and affects all objects in free fall.
