Answer 1

1. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity and occurs when an object's speed or direction changes.

2. Velocity changes when an object accelerates or decelerates.

3. As an object falls, its speed increases due to gravity until it reaches terminal velocity.

4. Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken (a = Δv/Δt).

5. Positive acceleration occurs when an object's speed increases in the direction of motion.

6. An object's acceleration is zero when its velocity is constant.

7. Deceleration is a decrease in speed or negative acceleration.

8. To solve problems involving acceleration, use the formula and identify the initial and final velocities and time.

9. Graphs can show acceleration by plotting velocity against time, where the slope represents acceleration.

10. To determine acceleration from a table, look for changes in velocity over time intervals and calculate the average acceleration.
