Calculating acceleration

positive velocity, positive acceleration

going forward, speeding up

positive velocity, negative acceleration

going forward, slowing down

negative velocity, negative acceleration

going backwards, speeding up

negative velocity, positive acceleration

going backward, slowing down

same signs

speed up

opposite sides slow down

speed (definition)

the distance an object travels per unit of time

speed (formula)

distance/time

velocity (definition)

speed in a given direction

Velocity (formula)

displacement/time

Acceleration (definition)

The rate of change of velocity includes an increase in speed, decrease in speed, and change direction

acceleration (how to write it)

m/s² or m/s/s

Acceleration (formula)

Velocity final- velocity initial/time
