ACCELERATION
• Example
a= average
v0 v acceleration
v0 = initial
v0 velocity
t0 t
V=Final velocity
t0 =initial time
t=final time

3.Acceleration due to gravity
Acceleration due to gravity: The acceleration of a freely falling body is
called the acceleration due to gravity or the acceleration of gravity.
Acceleration due to gravity: The acceleration due to gravity is the uniform
acceleration produced in freely falling body due to the influence of the
gravitational pull of the earth.
It is denoted by ‘g’
At or near the earth’s surface its magnitude is approximately 9.8 ms-2 .
This value is used as the unit of acceleration due to gravity.
BUT the value of ‘g’ varies from one celestial body to another.
For example, the acceleration due to gravity would be different on the
Moon as compared to the Earth.
2.Instantaneous acceleration Page no:7
In general, F = ma.
Second Law: Acceleration is directly
proportional to the net force and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object

Newton’s Laws of Motion
Example: 1
• A stove transforms
electrical energy into heat
energy to cook food
Example: 2
A flashlight transforms chemical
energy from its battery to light
energy
Page no:13
Transformation of energy
Example :3
• A solar panel transforms
light energy from the sun
into electric energy
Example:4
A microphone transforms
sound energy into electrical
energy.

Transformation of energy
• Let's look at some examples of multiple energy
Example:5
A television transforms electrical
energy into light and sound
energy
Example:6
A car transforms chemical energy
from the fuel into mechanical, light,
kinetic, heat and sound energy
Transformation of energy Page no:15
Example:7
• A robot transforms chemical energy
from its battery into kinetic, sound,
light energy
