GCSE Science Acceleration

• A plane is travelling around the globe at 200 miles m/s has a constant speed and a changing veocity because of its constant change in direction. 

• Acceleration is the charge of velocity per second. The unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m/s squared)
• Acceleration= Change in velocity/Time
• Formula Triangle: 

A car travels from rest 0m/s to 56m/s in 56 seconds, what is its acceleration?

• Step 1: work out the change in velocity by taking the final from the initial - 56 m/s - 0m/s: 56m/s
• Step 2: divide the change in velocity by the time - 56/56: 1
• Step 3: make sure that you have included units. Acceleration: 1m/s squared
