Key Stage 3
Meaning
Acceleration is an increase in speed.
About Acceleration
- The opposite of acceleration is deceleration which is to slow down.
- Acceleration happens when an object experiences Unbalanced Forces.
Acceleration Equation
\[a = {\tfrac{v-u}{t}} \]
- Where:
- a = acceleration
- v = final speed
- u = initial speed
- t = time
