  2. What is it? • Definition: • Linear acceleration is simply how quickly you can speed up in a strait line • In physics terms it is the rate of change of velocity • It is a vector

  3. Example in sport • 100M Sprinters • Sports that gradually increase in speed in a strait line

  4. Linear velocity Ebba Nobreus

  5. What Is it? • Definition: • Linear velocity is a measure of both the speed and direction an object is traveling at a constant speed. • Linear velocity is velocity along a straight line, and its magnitude is commonly measured in such units as meters per second (m/s).

  6. Examples in sport • A marathon runner • Cyclists • Sports where the athlete has a constant speed throughout..
