Concepts and Equations
Acceleration
Acceleration is a vector quantity that describes the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time. It is defined as the time derivative of velocity.
Acceleration (a) = dV/dt
Velocity and Acceleration, Uniformly accelerated particle model worksheet 3
The velocity of an object is the rate at which its position changes over time. Acceleration and velocity are related through the following equation:
Velocity (V) = u + at
where:
- u is the initial velocity
- a is the acceleration
- t is the time
Q&A
What is uniformly accelerated motion?
Uniformly accelerated motion is the motion of an object with constant acceleration, meaning its velocity changes at a constant rate over time.
What is the equation for acceleration?
Acceleration (a) is the rate of change of velocity (v) over time (t), expressed as a = v/t.
How is velocity related to acceleration?
Velocity (v) is the rate of change of displacement (x) over time (t), and acceleration (a) is the rate of change of velocity over time. Therefore, acceleration is the second derivative of displacement with respect to time.
