Motion — Supplement Learning Objectives

Summary
  • Define acceleration as change in velocity per unit time; recall and use the equation a = Δv / Δt
  • Determine from given data or the shape of a speed-time graph when an object is moving with: (a) constant acceleration (b) changing acceleration
  • Calculate acceleration from the gradient of a speed-time graph
  • Know that a deceleration is a negative acceleration and use this in calculations
  • Describe the motion of objects falling in a uniform gravitational field with and without air/liquid resistance, including reference to terminal velocity
