Acceleration

Front

What does positive acceleration indicate about an object's motion?

Back

The object is speeding up.

Front

Why does a car accelerate when rounding a corner at a constant speed?

Back

Its direction changes.

Front

What is the equation for acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t)

Front

Calculate the acceleration of a box sliding down an inclined plane that reaches a velocity of 27 m/s in 3 seconds from rest.

Back

9 m/s²

Front

In which scenario does a car experience no acceleration?

Back

A car with the cruise control set at 80 km/h going down a straight highway.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What units are commonly used to measure acceleration?

Back

Meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

If an object is slowing down, what type of acceleration is it experiencing?

Back

Negative acceleration (deceleration).

Front

What is the relationship between acceleration and force according to Newton's second law?

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma).

Front

How does acceleration differ from velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a given direction, while acceleration is the rate of change of that velocity.
