Final velocity minus starting velocity, divided by time it took.

Ex. Speeding up you car from 40mph to 60 mph when going on to freeway. It took 2 seconds.

60mph - 20mph= 40mph/2sec =20mph

20mph is your acceleration.

What is happening to an object when it has a negative accerleration?

It's deccelerating-it's slowing down-it's losing velocity.


How does air ir resistance affect the accerleration of a falling object?

It slows the acceleration - possibly down to zero @ "terminal velocity".


What formula is used to calculate accerleration?

Acceleration is calculated using the formula ( a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} ), where ( a ) represents acceleration, ( \Delta v ) is the change in velocity, and ( \Delta t ) is the change in time. This formula indicates how much the velocity of an object changes over a specific time period. In cases of constant acceleration, it can also be derived from Newton's second law, ( F = ma ), where ( F ) is the net force applied to an object and ( m ) is its mass.

Is velocity the slope of the accerleration vs graph?

It's the other way around. The magnitude of acceleration is the slope of the graph of speed vs time.
