    Acceleration

    Uploaded by

    whatrich
    The document defines acceleration as a change in an object's velocity over time. It can be caused by a change in speed, direction, or both. Acceleration is calculated by taking the change in velocity and dividing by the time elapsed. Several examples are provided to demonstrate calculating acceleration from initial and final velocities over a set time period for objects that are both accelerating and decelerating. Sample problems demonstrate calculating acceleration in different scenarios involving cars and airplanes.

    ACCELERATION

    ACCELERATION
    -whenever there is a change in speed, a
    change in direction, or a change in both,
    there is a change in velocity
    - Vector quantity
    ACCELERATION
    = change in velocity / time
    In symbols,
    where:
    a = v/t a = acceleration, m/s2
    vf = final velocity, m/s
    a = vf vi / t vi = initial velocity, m/s
    t = time, s
    EXAMPLE:
    A cyclist starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 10
    meters per second in 5 seconds. What is the
    acceleration of the cyclist?

    DECELERATING
    SAMPLE PROBLEM #1
    What is the acceleration of a car whose speed
    increases uniformly from 15 m/s to 25 m/s in 5s?
    SAMPLE PROBLEM #2
    An airplane flying 60 m/s is accelerated uniformly at
    the rate of 0.5 m/s2. What is its velocity at the end of
    10s?
    SAMPLE PROBLEM #3
    A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls
    down a slope. As it starts down the slope, its speed is
    4 m/s. But 3 seconds later, at the bottom of the slope,
    its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration?
    SAMPLE PROBLEM #4
    Nathaniel is driving his sports car down a four-lane
    highway at 40 m/s. He comes up behind a slow-
    moving dump truck and decides to pass it in the left-
    hand lane. IF Nathaniel can accelerate at 5 m/s2, how
    long it will take for him to reach the speed of 60 m/s?
    SAMPLE PROBLEM #5
    If an Isuzu Crosswind, with an initial velocity of 20
    m/s, accelerates at a rate of 5 m/s2 for 3 seconds,
    what will its final velocity be?
    ACTIVITY NO. 9
