Question Answer
Acceleration of an object... ... is the rate of change in the velocity.
It measures... ... how quickly an object speeds up ands slow down.
To calculate the acceleration of an object, you need to know... ... the change in velocity and the time taken for this change to happen.
The acceleration formula... Acceleration (m/s^2) = Change in Velocity (m/s) / Time (s)
The change in velocity is... ... the final velocity (m/s) subtract the intianl velocity (m/s).
The formula triangle looks like this...
Deceleration is... ... a negative acceleration.
