  • Acceleration
    The rate of change in velocity or how quickly something speeds up or slows down
  • Acceleration
    • Measured in meters per second squared
  • Delta (Δ)

    Means change
  • Delta v (Δv)

    Change in velocity, can be written as v - u where v is final velocity and u is initial velocity
  • Acceleration
    • Is a vector quantity, has direction as well as magnitude, can be negative (deceleration)
  • Acceleration
    • Can be average over time if not constant
  • Uniform/constant acceleration
    Acceleration is the same throughout
  • Acceleration equation 2
    • Includes distance (s) instead of time (t)
  • If an object starts from stationary, its initial velocity (u) is 0
