N
ACCELERATION
•is a vector quantity that is
defined as the rate at which
an object changes its velocity.
•an object is accelerating if it
is changing its velocity.

According to our general
principle, when an object is
slowing down, the acceleration is
in the opposite direction as the
velocity. Thus, this object also

SEATWORK
SEATWORK:
A boy on a bicycle
increases his velocity
from 5 m/s to 20 m/s
in 10 seconds. 
SEATWORK:
A skater increases her
velocity from 2.0 m/s to
10.0 m/s in 3.0 seconds.
What is the skater’s

While traveling along a
highway a driver slows from
24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12
seconds. What is the
ASSIGNMENT:
A parachute on a racing dragster
opens and changes the speed of
the car from 85 m/s to 45 m/s in
a period of 4.5 seconds. What is
the acceleration of the dragster?
