Acceleration Test Review

What is acceleration?

• length from start point to end point

• rate at which an object changes position

• rate at which an object changes velocity

• How fast something is going

True or False: an acceleration of 5m/s² means that with every passing second, the velocity of an object changes by 5m/s

• true

• false

True or False: When using the acceleration equation for velocity, it tells you the actual velocity of the object

• true
