m s s mi hr s km hr hr m s2 Acceleration • Formula used to calculate acceleration • Delta means “change in” • Units are length/time squared EX:
Explaining the f and the i • The f stands for “final” or the ending velocity • f = final velocity • The i stands for the “initial” or starting velocity • i= initial velocity

Looking for: Solution: Given: Formula: 1. A parachute on a racing dragster opens and changes the speed of the car from 65 m/sec to 35 m/sec in aperiod of 2.5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the dragster?
Looking for: Solution: Given: Formula: 2. The cheetah, which is the fastestland mammal, can accelerate from 0.0 mi/hr to 50.0 mi/hr in 2.5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the cheetah? Give your answer in units of mph/sec.
Looking for: Solution: Given: Formula: 3. The Ford Edge sports car can accelerate from 0.0 km/hr to 75.6 km/hr in 3.0 seconds. What is the acceleration of this car? Give your answer in units of kilometers per hour/sec.
Looking for: Solution: Given: Formula: 4. Which has greater acceleration, the cheetah or the Ford Edge? (To figure this out, you must remember that there are 1.6 kilometers in 1 mile.) Be sure to show your calculations. 4. Which has greater acceleration, the cheetah or the Lamborghini Diablo? (To figure this out, you must remember that there are 1.6 kilometers in 1 mile.) Be sure to show your calculations.
Looking for: Solution: Given: Formula: Challenge (multi step)1.If a car can go from 0.0 to 60.0 mi/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0 seconds if its starting speed were 50.0 mi/hr?
