What is Acceleration Acceleration is the _______________________________________ There are several ways you can accelerate: ________________ _________________ ______________ How can a car be accelerating if it has a constant speed of 65 mph??
Calculating Acceleration The formula for acceleration is: • A rollercoaster starts down the hill at a speed of 4m/s. 3 seconds later it is at the bottom of the hill. Its speed is 22 m/h. What is the average acceleration of the rollercoaster? • A car can accelerate from a stopped position to 27 m/s in 9 s. Find its acceleration. • A falling raindrop accelerates from a0 m/s to 30 m/s in 2 s. Find its acceleration.
