Acceleration Chapter 11. 3
Acceleration = the rate at which velocity changes Can be described as a change in speed, change in direction, or a change in both Acceleration is a vector.
Changes in Speed We often use the word acceleration to describe situations where the speed of an object is increasing. Acceleration can be caused by a positive change in speed (increase) or a negative change in speed (decrease).
An INCREASE in speed gives a POSITIVE acceleration. Ex. You car accelerates when the light turns green
A DECREASE in speed gives a NEGATIVE acceleration or DECELERATION. Ex. A car that hits a tree has a very sudden NEGATIVE acceleration https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=At. IX 4 l. UVQ 0 I
Free Fall Free fall = the movement of an object toward Earth because of gravity SI unit for acceleration is m/s/s or m/s 2
Acceleration of Gravity The acceleration of gravity is 9. 8 m/s 2 Each second an object is in free fall, its velocity increases downward by 9. 8 m/s
MAXIMUM HEIGHT: 128, 097 feet above sea level https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=FHtv. DA 0 W 34 I FREE FALL: 4 minutes and 20 seconds before pulling his parachute TOP SPEED = 843. 6 mph (Mach 1. 25)
Changes in Direction Think of riding a carousel… Are you accelerating? ? YES! Because you are changing direction, you are accelerating. By Mark Lennihan, AP http: //travel. usatoday. com/destinations/story/2011 -10 -22/Historic-Ohio-carouselfinds-happy-home-in-Brooklyn/50830812/1
Changes in Speed and Direction Roller coaster Your acceleration is constantly changing because of changes in the speed and direction of the roller coaster. Richard Lam/AP http: //www. findingdulcinea. com/features/science/innovations/greatinventions/the-roller-coaster. html
Changes in Speed and Direction Car driving around curve The car is accelerating both because it is changing direction and its speed is decreasing by Linda Wasmer Andrews http: //americanprofile. com/articles/tips-to-manage-motion-sickness/
Constant acceleration = a steady change in velocity The velocity of an object changes by the same amount each second. Ex. Airplane takeoff http: //www. freephotosbank. com/1316. html
Calculating Acceleration •
Example A ball rolls down a ramp, starting from rest. After 2 seconds, its velocity is 6 m/s. What is the acceleration of the ball? List/Visual Question Vi = 0 m/s a = ? Vf = 6 m/s t = 2 s Formula Math Answer w/units 3 m/s 2
Graphs of Accelerated Motion The slope of a speed-time graph is acceleration

Linear Graph Linear graph = a graph in which the displayed data forms a straight line.
Nonlinear graph = a graph in which a curve connects the data points. http: //beam-services. ocdsb. ca/~Richard. Taylor/sph 4 u/Methods/acclab. htm
Instantaneous Acceleration = how fast a velocity is changing at a specific instant.
