CHAPTER 9 SECTION 3:
Acceleration

Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.

An object accelerates if it’s speed, direction, or both change

An increase in velocity is called positive acceleration
![Page 5: CHAPTER 9 SECTION 3: Acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f115503460f94c24247/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A decrease in velocity is called deceleration or negative acceleration

The faster the velocity changes, the greater the acceleration is.

Average Acceleration = (Final Velocity – Starting Velocity) /
Time

(eg) A plane passes over point A at a velocity of 240M/sec North. Forty seconds later, it passes over point B at a velocity of 260M/sec North. What is the plane’s AVG. Acceleration?
ave. acceleration = 260m/s - 240m/s = 0.5m/s²
40s

Acceleration can be shown on a graph as velocity versus time.

Circular Motion
Because the Earth rotates, you are accelerating because you are changing direction
![Page 11: CHAPTER 9 SECTION 3: Acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f115503460f94c24247/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
An object in a circular path is always changing direction, therefore it’s velocity is always changing, so it is accelerating.

Acceleration in a circular path is called centripetal acceleration

(eg) Ferris wheel, Moon’s orbit, blades of a fan or windmill.
