Physics: Acceleration & Deceleration

The document defines acceleration and deceleration as the rate of change of velocity over time. It provides examples of calculating acceleration and deceleration from initial and final velocities and time. The key learning outcomes are for students to understand the definitions and be able to calculate acceleration and deceleration using the formula a=change in velocity/time.

Learning Outcome
At the end of this lesson, student
should be able to:
- Define acceleration and
deceleration
- State that a= v-u
t
- Calculate acceleration and
deceleration.
60 kmh-1 100 kmh-1

Initial velocity , u = 60 kmh-1

Final Velocity , v = 100 kmh-1

Time, t = 5 s
What can you say about the velocity of the
car?
Suppose the car was moving with an initial velocity of
12 ms-1 and takes 6s to stop.
Calculate its acceleration.

u = 12 ms-1
v = 0 ms-1
t=6s

a = v - u = -2 ms-2
t
So, we can say that the car accelerates at -2 ms-
2 or the car decelerates at 2 ms-2 .
How does acceleration
relate to change of
velocity?
How does acceleration
relate to change of
time?
What is acceleration?
Acceleration = Change in velocity
Time taken for the change

The car accelerates from an initial velocity, u, to a


final velocity, v, in time, t.

The acceleration of the car is


a = v-u ms-1

What can you say
about the velocity and
acceleration of the
trolley in each case?
Direction of motion
A

Distance between dots is the same.


The trolley is moving with constant
velocity.
Direction of motion

B
The distance between dots is increasing.
The trolley is moving with increasing
velocity.
It has a positive acceleration.
Speeds up.
Direction of motion

C
The distance between dots is decreasing.
The trolley is moving with decreasing
velocity.
It is decelerating.
Slows down.
 A sprinter runs from the starting line and achieves a
velocity of 18ms-1 in 3s.
 Calculate his acceleration.

Answer:

We know that:
u= 0ms-1 a = v-u
v= 18ms-1 t
t=3s = 18 - 0 ms-1
3 s
= 6 ms-2
Problem to solve…

A stationary car achieves a velocity of 40ms-1


in 10 seconds.
Calculate the acceleration of the car.
(Assume that the acceleration of the car is
uniform throughout the journey).
Answer..
Acceleration = Change of velocity
Time
= Final velocity – Initial Velocity
Time
= 40ms-1 – 0ms-1
10s
= 4ms-1
