What is Acceleration?
Calculating Acceleration
100

The rate of how fast something is moving and in what direction.

What is velocity?

100

What is the formula for solving for Velocity?

V = D/T

100

This can be calculated from a position (distance)-time graph.



What is velocity?

What is speed?

What is slope?

100

A change in velocity (speeding up or slowing down).

What is acceleration?

100

The acceleration of an object traveling at 100m/s and coming to a stop in 5s.

What is -20m/s2? (must include negative to be correct)

200

The unit of measurement for velocity.

meters/second

200

How long would it take a bird to fly 350 meters if it is traveling at a velocity of 14 m/s?

25 seconds

200

A horizontal line on a velocity time graph indicates this.

What is the object is at constant velocity?


200

The formula for acceleration.

What is final velocity minus initial velocity divided by time?

200

The acceleration of a car starting at a stop light and reaching a velocity of 90m/s in 6s.

What is 15m/s2?

300

The velocity of an item at rest.

What is 0 m/s?

300

How far does a mouse scurry if it moves with a velocity of 5 m/s for 14 seconds?

70 meters

300

This is indicated by a curved line on a position-time graph.

What is acceleration?


300

What is the unit of measurement for acceleration?

m/s2

300

A car accelerates from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?

5 m/s2

400

The rate of how far something travels in a specific amount of time.

What is speed?

400

How fast does an alligator move if it covers a distance of 15 m in 4 seconds?

3.75 m/s

400

On a position-time graph, this is what a straight, flat line tells you about the motion of an object.

What is that the object is stopped/not moving?


400

The three ways acceleration occurs.


What is speeding up, slowing down, and changing direction?

400
How do you identify if an acceleration is decreasing?
A negative sign.
500

The component that makes velocity different from speed.

What is direction?

500

A cheetah runs with a velocity of 25 m/s.  How long does it take for the cheetah to cover 80 m?

3.2 seconds

500

On a position-time graph, this is what a straight, sloped line tells you about the motion of an object.

What is constant velocity?



500

A description of an object with negative acceleration (you must use the word velocity).

What is an object with decreasing velocity (or what is an object that has a lower final velocity/higher initial velocity)?

500

If a deer is running at an acceleration of -13.5 m/s2, what do you know?

The deer is slowing down.
