What is uniform acceleration?
Speeding up or slowing down at a constant rate
1 of 10
What is acceleration?
It is the change in velocity in a certain time
2 of 10
What is the equation for acceleration?
a= (v-u)/t
3 of 10
What does that stand for?
Acceleration= (final velocity-initial velocity)/time
4 of 10
What is deceleration?
It is just negative acceleration
5 of 10
What can cause deceleration?
If something is slowing down, the change in the velocity is negative
6 of 10
What could you say about acceleration due to gravity?
It is uniform for objects in free fall
7 of 10
What is the acceleration of an object that is in free fall near the Earth's surface?
10 m/s^2
8 of 10
What is the equation for uniform acceleration?
v^2 - u^2 = 2ax
9 of 10
What does that stand for?
Final velocity^2 - Initial velocity^2 = 2*acceleration*distance
