Definition - Computation - Application: Acceleration

The document defines acceleration as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It provides examples of calculating acceleration when an object increases or decreases its speed. It includes sample problems about determining the acceleration of a car, coaster, bicycle, skater, driver, and dragster based on their changing velocities over time.

DEFINITION . COMPUTATION .

APPLICATION

ACCELERATION
ACCELERATION
•is a vector quantity that is
defined as the rate at which
an object changes its velocity.
•an object is accelerating if it
is changing its velocity.
ACCELERATION
ACCELERATION
ACCELERATION
According to our general
principle, when an object is
slowing down, the acceleration is
in the opposite direction as the
velocity. Thus, this object also has
a positive acceleration.
ACCELERATION
According to our principle, when an
object is slowing down, the
acceleration is in the opposite
direction as the velocity. Thus, this
object has a negative
acceleration.
ACCELERATION
1. A car is moving from rest
and attained a velocity of 80
m/s. Calculate the
acceleration of the car after
5 s?
ACCELERATION
Determine the acceleration
of a coaster which moves
with a velocity of 10 m/s,
after 2s its velocity is
increases to 26 m/s.

SEATWORK
SEATWORK:
A boy on a bicycle
increases his velocity
from 5 m/s to 20 m/s
in 10 seconds.
SEATWORK:
A skater increases her
velocity from 2.0 m/s to
10.0 m/s in 3.0 seconds.
What is the skater’s
acceleration?
ACCELERATION

ASSIGNMENT
ASSIGNMENT:
While traveling along a
highway a driver slows from
24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12
seconds. What is the
automobile’s acceleration?
ASSIGNMENT:
A parachute on a racing dragster
opens and changes the speed of
the car from 85 m/s to 45 m/s in
a period of 4.5 seconds. What is
the acceleration of the dragster?
