Acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or …

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per …

We can describe acceleration as the change in velocity over time, and we can use the shorthand equation a = Δ v / Δ t to represent this relationship where ‘a’ is the average acceleration, ‘v’ is …

The slope of a velocity graph is the acceleration. Since the slope of the curve is decreasing and becoming less steep this means that the acceleration is also decreasing.

Learn how to interpret the motion of an object represented on an acceleration vs. time graph.

And the angular acceleration represents the rate at which an object is changing its angular velocity, so if an object rotates at a constant rate, there is zero angular acceleration, but …

Acceleration is change in velocity. If an object's speed and/or direction is changing, it is accelerating. If an object is speeding up, its velocity and acceleration are in the same direction. …

Learn what the kinematic equations are and how you can use them to analyze scenarios involving constant acceleration.

Review the key concepts and skills for acceleration due to gravity, including analyzing motion of objects in freefall.

If velocity and acceleration point the same direction, the object is speeding up. If velocity and acceleration point opposite directions, the object is slowing down.
