Activator • Define acceleration in your own words. • Give an example of when you have experienced acceleration in your life.
Acceleration • The rate of change of velocity – Change in velocity over a change in time – Unit of distance / (unit of time)2 • (m/s)/s = m/s 2 vf - v i = change in velocity acceleration t a time vf - v i a t
Acceleration
Acceleration • Acceleration is not only an increase, but also a decrease in velocity – Three ways to accelerate • Speed up – positive acceleration • Slow down – negative acceleration • Change direction – you can feel this acceleration as you turn a corner in a car – your body is being “pushed” toward the outside of the curve
Acceleration

Rearrange the Equation Q: t F: I: vf vi a Ra:
1. You are interested in a new sports car that can go from 0 m/s to 120 m/s in 12 s. What is the acceleration of the car? Q Ra I C F
2. What is the acceleration of a vehicle that changes its velocity from 100 m/s to a dead stop in 10 s? Q Ra I C F
3. During a race, a sprinter increases from 5. 0 m/s to 7. 5 m/s over a period of 1. 25 s. What is the sprinter’s average acceleration during this period? Q Ra I C F
4. A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. As it starts down the slope, its speed is 4 m/s. But 3 seconds later, at the bottom of the slope, its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration? Q Ra I C F
5. A car traveling at 7. 0 m/s accelerates 2. 5 m/s 2 to reach a speed of 12. 0 m/s. How long does it take for this acceleration to occur? Q Ra I F C
6. You are traveling in a car that is moving at a velocity of 20 m/s. Suddenly, a car 10 meters in front of you slams on its brakes. At that moment, you also slam on your brakes and slow to 5 m/s. Calculate the acceleration if it took 2 seconds to slow your car down. Q Ra I C F
7. A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the lizard’s average acceleration? Q Ra I C F
8. A car starts from a stoplight and is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s east in 20 s. What is the acceleration of the car? Q I Ra C F
9. A ball rolls down a ramp for 15 s. If the initial velocity of the ball was 0. 8 m/s and the final velocity was 7 m/s, what was the acceleration of the ball? Q I Ra C F
10. A meteoroid changed velocity from 1 km/s to 1. 8 km/s in 0. 03 s. What is the acceleration of the meteoroid? Q I Ra C F
11. The space shuttle releases a space telescope into orbit around the Earth. The telescope goes from being stationary to traveling at a speed of 1700 m/s in 25 s. What is the acceleration of the telescope? Q I Ra C F
12. A ball is rolled at a velocity of 12 m/s. After 36 seconds, it comes to a stop. What is the acceleration of the ball? Q I Ra C F
