ACCELERATION


Slide 2

ACCELERATION TERMS
Acceleration (a)– the rate of change of velocity
(can be +, -, or centripetal)
 Deceleration– only negative acceleration
(slowing down)
 Centripetal Acceleration– acceleration that
occurs when changing direction (turning)
 Freefall– objects falling due to gravity
 Force is what you feel when you accelerate



Slide 3

3 WAYS TO ACCELERATE
Since acceleration is a change in velocity and
velocity has 2 parts
 We can accelerate by

Slow down (- acceleration)

both speed and direction


Slide 4

YOUR SPEEDOMETER – THE KEY TO ACCEL






We don’t see
acceleration of an
object well with our eyes
But if we look at a
speedometer we can
see speed change.
Acceleration is a picture
of what your
speedometer is doing


Slide 5

SLOW ACCELERATION

FAST(ER) ACCELERATION

ACCELERATION IS A PIC OF YOUR SPEEDO


Slide 6

THE VARIABLES

Speed ( or velocity)is the
dependent variable



Time is the independent
variable

• Negative (-) slope = - accel
(slowing down)

• Positive (+) slope = + accel
(speeding up)

• Zero (0) slope (flat line) = 0 accel
(constant speed)

• Straight lines = Constant acceleration
• Steady increase or decrease in speed

ANSWERS TO SAMPLE QUESTIONS


What is the acceleration of the object from 0 – 20 s?

Acceleration(slope) =



sp2 – sp 1 (rise)

(run)

(20–0 m/s) 20 m/s
= 1 m/s/s
=
( 20 – 0 s)
20 s

What is the speed of the object from 20 – 40 s?

Acceleration(slope) =



t2 – t1

=

sp2 – sp 1 (rise) (20–20 m/s) 0 m/s
= 0 m/s/s
=
=
t2 – t1
(run) ( 40 – 20 s) 20 s

What is the speed of the object from 40 – 60 s?

Acceleration(slope) =

sp2 – sp 1 (rise)
t2 – t1

(0–20 m/s) -20 m/s
= -1 m/s/s
=
=
(run) ( 60 – 40 s) 20 s

ACCELERATION FORMULA, UNITS & POWER SHAPE

m/s, cm/min, km/h
final speed – initial speed
Acceleration =
final time – intial time
m/s/s, cm/min/min, km/h/s
s, min, hr

(spf – spi) Since:
a=
sp2 = final speed, sp1 = initial speed
(tf – ti)
t2 = final time, t1 = initial time

(sp2 – sp1)
a=
(t2 – t1)


Slide 14

ACCELERATION FORMULA, UNITS & POWER SHAPE
Acceleration =

final speed – start speed
final time – start time

sp2=final speed, sp1=start speed t2=final time, t1=start time

Since:

Dsp = sp2 – sp1
Dt = t2 – t1

Then:

a=
Dt

FREEFALL AND GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION

Freefall: Objects falling due to gravity
 All objects accelerate at the same rate due to
gravity during freefall regardless of their mass


 Objects

may reach terminal velocity sooner due to
air resistance
 Gravitational acceleration (g) = 9.8 m/s/s on earth
