Essential Question:

•How do we
know if an
object is in
motion or not?
Choose the correct words from the
following list to describe the motion
during each part of the journey.
accelerating
decelerating
steady speed
stationary
0-A The bus is accelerating. Its speed changes from 0
to 10 m/s in 5 seconds.
A-B The bus is moving at a steady speed of 10 m/s for
5 seconds.
B-C The bus is decelerating. It is slowing down from 10
m/s to rest in 3 seconds.
C-D The bus is stationary. It has stopped.
D-E The bus is accelerating. It is gradually
increasing in speed.
E-F The bus is moving at a steady speed of 5
m/s.
During which part of the journey was the bus
moving the fastest (highest speed)?
The Answer
Between A and B, the bus was moving at its
fastest speed 10 m/s.
During which part of the journey did the bus
have the greatest acceleration?
The Answer
The acceleration is greatest between O and
A. The graph is steepest there.
Calculate the acceleration between D and E.

acceleration (m/s2) = change in speed (m/s)/time

taken(s)
acceleration (m/s2) = 5m/s/5s = 1m/s2
 Why do you think people are not
advised to speed up or to overtake
other vehicles?
How will it help us in saving energy?

Acceleration requires the burning

of additional fuel in the vehicle. To save
on gasoline we have to avoid speeding
up or overtaking other vehicles.
 is a change in velocity
Vector quantity

So an object accelerates if it either:

a. Speeds up
b. Slows down
c. Changes the direction it is moving
• Acceleration = change in velocity/time
• Acceleration = (final velocity – initial velocity)/time
a = Vf – Vi
t

• Acceleration has units of

velocity/time
(meters per second)/seconds
Or m/s/s or m/s2
 QUANTITIES FORMULA UNITS

Acceleration m/s2
“the rate at which an a= Vf – Vi mi/hr2
object is changing
its velocity ” t km/hr2
Ex: 10 km/hr2 N

Vf = Final velocity Vf = Vi + a (t)

(end of the time)

Vi = Initial velocity Vi = Vf - a (t)

(beginning of the time)

t = time t= Vf – Vi
a
 Sample Problems
1. Suppose a car increased its speed to 100
km/hr from rest in 0.99 hr. The car is
travelling South. What is its acceleration?
2. A truck’s velocity on a straight highway
going North increases uniformly from 15
Km/hr to 60 Km/hr in 0.30 hr. Determine
its acceleration.
3. Nathaniel who is riding a bicycle, moves
with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Ten
seconds later, he is moving at 15 m/s.
What is his acceleration?
SAMPLE PROBLEM
4. Piolo’s car is travelling initially at 20km/hr and his
acceleration is 3.3km/hr2. What is the final velocity
after 3 hours?

5. How long will it take for a car to decelerate from

90 km/hr to 0 km/hr if its acceleration is 10 km/hr/hr?

6. Two cars are moving on the opposite sides of a

highway. The first car moves from 60 kph to 100
kph towards east in 0.5 hour while the second car
moves from rest to 80 kph in opposite direction in
0.7 hours. Which car has a greater acceleration?
Observe the three cars below. Which
car or cars (red, green, and/or blue)
is/are undergoing an acceleration?
 A- Blue
(accelerating, fast)

B- Red (constant
speed)

C- Green
(accelerating, slow)
Acceleration = (30 m/s – 0 m/s)/10 s
a = 3 m/s/s or 3 m/s2

The car’s velocity is increasing 3 m/s per

second.

The car is accelerating towards the right.

a = (0m/s – 20 m/s)/10 s
a = - 2 m/s/s
The car is moving to the right
and it is decelerating (slowing down)
a = (final velocity – initial velocity)/time
a = ( -30 m/s – 0 m/s)/ 10 s
a = - 3 m/s/s
The car is both moving to the left and
accelerating to the left.
Negative acceleration does not always
mean an object is slowing down!
Consider the motion of a Hot Wheel car down
an incline, across a level, straight section of
track, around a 180-degree curve, and finally
along a final straight section of track.
Describe the speed of the car.
* The car gains speed while moving
down the inclined plane.
* Along the straight sections of track, the
car slows down slightly.
* Finally, along the 180-degree curve, the
car is changing its direction.
What if you are not looking for
acceleration, but instead are
looking for the components of
acceleration?
If an object is accelerating, can its
velocity be constant? Explain

No, Acceleration is change in velocity

 Valuing: How would you
accelerate your performance
in school? Why should you
avoid procrastinations?
Global Issue: Valsalva acceleration
technique is a modern way to
improve speed. This is a brief, forced
expiration of air against your closed
glottis for 2.5 secs. This can give an
athlete instantaneous, explosive
energy.
SYNTHESIS:
How are speed, velocity and acceleration
related?
Why do you think people are not advised
to speed up or to overtake other
vehicles?
How will it help us in saving energy?
Acceleration requires the burning of
additional fuel in the vehicle. To save
on gasoline we have to avoid speeding
up or overtaking other vehicles.
