Acceleration

• Acceleration is how quickly velocity is changing
• Change in velocity can be a change in speed or a change in direction or both
• Equation for acceleration

  A) change in velocity

  B) change in time

  
• To calculate change in velocity, you must always do final velocity takeaway the initial velocity
• Acceleration and velocity are similar. They are both vectors and have positive and negatives values
• If an object has a negative acceleration, it is either decelerating or speeding up in the negative direction
• U = initial velocity

  V = final velocity
• For anything travelling with constant acceleration, you can use this equation:

  v^2 - u^2 = 2 x acceleration x distance
