Acceleration

The video tutorial explains the concept of acceleration using a car journey example, detailing how velocity changes over time. It introduces average acceleration and its mathematical expression, discusses velocity-time graphs, and explains different types of acceleration: positive, negative, and zero. The tutorial also covers instantaneous acceleration and how to calculate it using the slope of a tangent. Finally, it demonstrates how to find displacement from velocity-time graphs by calculating the area under the curve, using shapes like rectangles, triangles, and trapezoids.
