Understanding Velocity and Acceleration

How does acceleration work?

• It measures how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared?

• Its just the rate of velocity

• Same thing as speed

• It pulls from side to side

A decrease in acceleration is called?

• Velocity

• Speed

• Olivia

• Deceleration

What is another way you can call acceleration?

• slowing down

• speeding up

• deceleration

• opening up

• 24 m/s²
• 18 m/s²
• 16 m/s²
• 16 m/s

A change in velocity over time is known as:

• acceleration
• constant speed
• average speed
• displacement
