Acceleration

Front

What is the equation for finding average acceleration?

Back

(final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time

Front

If you make a right turn while walking, do you have acceleration?

Back

Yes

Front

A dog runs with an initial speed of 7.5 m/s and slides to a stop in 15 seconds. What is the acceleration?

Back

-0.5 m/s²

Front

What is the metric unit for acceleration?

Back

m/s²

Front

If you are walking in a straight line at a consistent speed, do you have acceleration?

Back

No

Front

Define acceleration.

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative acceleration?

Back

Positive acceleration increases an object's velocity, while negative acceleration (deceleration) decreases it.

Front

How does acceleration relate to velocity and time?

Back

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time over which the change occurs.

Front

What is uniform acceleration?

Back

Uniform acceleration occurs when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

a = (final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time
