IB Physics Mechanics: Acceleration

This video tutorial covers the concept of acceleration in physics, explaining it as a vector quantity that represents the rate of change in an object's velocity. It uses real-world examples, such as aircraft and jet skis, to illustrate constant velocity and acceleration. The tutorial also explains how to calculate acceleration using equations and highlights the importance of sign conventions. Additionally, it compares scalars and vectors, emphasizing that acceleration is unique as a vector without a scalar counterpart. The lesson concludes with a sample question to reinforce understanding.
