Instantaneous Velocity
• What happens as
the flag gets
Acceleration
• acceleration is the
rate at which velocity
changes
• a = ∆v/∆t
• a = (vf – vi)/(t2 – t1)
• vf = vi + at
• The acceleration is the
slope of v vs t graph

Acceleration
• The slope of a velocity vs time graph is
acceleration a = ∆v/∆t
• If there is no slope, the acceleration is zero =
constant velocity
• If there is a positive slope, the velocity is
getting more positive.
• If there is a negative slope, the velocity is
getting more negative.
• The area under v vs t graph is displacement
