How do you calculate acceleration?

a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

a = (initial velocity - final velocity) * time

a = final velocity / time

a = initial velocity + final velocity

What does it mean if an object has constant acceleration?

The object's velocity changes at a steady rate over time.

The object's speed remains the same throughout its motion.

The object moves in a straight line without changing direction.

The object's acceleration varies randomly over time.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Speed and velocity are the same; both are scalar quantities.

Velocity is a scalar quantity, while speed is a vector quantity.

Speed is measured in meters per second, while velocity is measured in kilometers per hour.

What is the significance of the time variable in acceleration calculations?

Time is crucial in determining how quickly an object's velocity changes, affecting the calculated acceleration.

Time has no effect on acceleration calculations.

Time is only relevant in distance calculations, not acceleration.

Time is used to measure the total distance traveled by an object.
