Acceleration: the rate at which an object speeds up or slows down

- change in v/change in t

Uniform Acceleration: velocity changes by the same amount at each interval

* remember that negative acceleration doesn’t always mean slowing down

Speeding up VS Slowing down

  • an object’s velocity can be + or -

  • an object’s acceleration can be + or -

  • speeding up: ++ or --

  • slowing down: +- or -+

Kinematic Equations

  • can be used to find different variables of motion
