Acceleration

The video explains acceleration as a change in speed, providing examples like cars, trolleys, and baseballs. It highlights that acceleration results from forces, such as gravity, which causes objects to fall faster as they approach the Earth's surface. The video concludes with a thought-provoking question about whether a baseball accelerates when caught.

How does the speed of falling objects change as they approach the Earth's surface?

When a catcher catches a baseball, is the baseball accelerating? Explain your reasoning.
