ACCELERATION

The motion of an object in


which the velocity changes
in either magnitude (speed)
or direction or both
acceleration = change in velocity (m/s)
elapsed time (s)
Sample Problem
Michael is driving his sports car at
30 m/s when he sees a dog on the
road ahead. He slams on the
brakes and comes to a stop in 3.0
seconds. What was the
acceleration of Michael’s car?
SAMPLE PROBLEM 2

•A train accelerates from 12.5 m/s


to 8.3 m/s in 15s. Find its
a. acceleration
b. the distance it travels during this
time
SAMPLE PROBLEM 3
Albert is riding his scooter at a velocity of
22m/s, when he sees an old woman
crossing the road 45m away. He
immediately steps hard on the brakes to
get the maximum deceleration of
2.
7.5m/s How far will he go before
stopping? Will he hit the old woman?
SAMPLE PROBLEM 4
An airplane from rest
accelerates on a runway at
2
5.50m/s for 20.25s until it
finally takes off the ground.
What is the distance covered
before takeoff?
SAMPLE PROBLEM 5
The driver traveling 19.44m/s tries
to stop the car and finds that the
breaks have failed. The emergency
brake is then pulled and the car
comes to a stop in 120 m. Find’s the
car’s deceleration.

•A train is traveling down a straight
track at 20 𝑚/𝑠 when the engineer
applies the brakes, resulting in an

train is in motion. How far does the
train move during a 20-s time interval
starting at the instant the brakes are
applied?

alternately vertically upward.
Each ball has an initial velocity
of 5 m/s. How high does each
ball rise? How long does each
ball remain in the air?
GIVEN:

Vi= 5m/s
Vf= 0m/s
g= - 9.8m/s 2
d=?
t=?
a. d= Vf2 - 2
VI / 2g

= (0 m/s ) 2 –(5m/s) 2/ 2 -9.8m/s2


= -25m2/ s2 / - 19.6m/s2

d= 1.28 m
t= 2 (Vf –Vi / g)
= 2 (0m/s – 5m/s / -9.8m/s2)
=2(-5 m/s / -9.8m/s2)
=2(0.51s)
t=1.02s
