ACCELERATION

Motion - Acceleration

What is Acceleration

Acceleration is the change in
velocity per unit time.

Acceleration can result from:

1. A change in speed (increase or decrease)
   
   

2. A change in direction (up, down, back, forth...)
   
   

3. Changes in both

​Formula for finding Acceleration
(on your unit 1 student guide)

Graphing Acceleration

​Look at the graph on your Unit 1 Student Guide

What part of the graph shows no
acceleration?

What part of the graph shows the highest
acceleration?
