Acceleration

The video explains acceleration, the rate at which an object changes its speed, and its effects, such as being pushed back in a car seat. It covers factors affecting acceleration, including speed change and time, and how to measure it using meters per second squared. Different types of acceleration are illustrated with velocity-time graphs, showing constant and variable acceleration. Real-world examples include vehicles, elevators, and amusement parks. Common acceleration values are discussed, comparing cars, roller coasters, and space shuttles. The video concludes with a summary of key concepts.
