Acceleration How fast does it go?
Velocity • Velocity is speed in a specific direction. – Example: 55 miles per hour North
Acceleration • Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes.
Acceleration • A change in velocity – Speeding up • Positive acceleration – Slowing down • Negative acceleration • Deceleration – Changing direction
Review - Calculating Speed Given Distance & Time D S Speed = T Distance Time Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Review - Calculating Distance Given Speed & Time D S Distance =Speed • Time T Multiply Speed and Time Distance = Speed X Time = Distance
Review - Calculating Time Given Distance and Speed D S Time = T Distance Speed Divide Distance by Time Distance ÷ Speed = Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Calculating Acceleration • Acceleration Equation Acceleration = (final velocity (in m/s) – initial velocity (in m/s)) Time (in seconds) A= (Vf - Vi) t Units for acceleration are m/s/s, or m/s² Oh… I get it now!
Let’s practice… • Rob is really bored one Saturday night and goes outside to study the nocturnal habits of mice in the hayfield. He sees a mouse sniffing along at 0. 1 m/s. but it hears and starts to scurry for safety. In just 3. 7 s it accelerates to 0. 9 m/s. Find its acceleration.
Let’s Practice Acceleration = A= A= (sf-si) t 0. 9 m/s – 0. 1 m/s 3. 7 s A= (final speed (in m/s) – initial speed (in m/s)) 0. 8 m/s 3. 7 s A= 0. 22 m/s 2 Time (in seconds)
Let’s Practice • A roach moves down the hall at 1. 2 m/s. When he sees the janitor coming down the hall, he begins to run. After 3. 2 s, he is moving at 3. 6 m/s. What is his acceleration?
Let’s Practice • A zebra running at 20 m/s slows and comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is the zebra’s acceleration?
Let’s Practice • A bicyclist initially at rest increases her speed to 6 m/s in 30 seconds. What is her acceleration?
Let’s Practice • While waiting for his Mom to come out of the hairdresser's, Sean accidentally puts the car in gear and it begins to roll forward. How far would the vehicle travel if it moved at 34 m/s for 2. 5 s?
