LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of the lesson, a student is


able to:
 
1) Define acceleration and deceleration
2) State that a = v-u
t
3) Calculate acceleration and
deceleration
ACCELERATION

Keep in Formula
moving at
70 km h-1
acceleration AT REST
is
a=v-u
t

v = 70 TIME TAKEN u=0


kmh-1 = 10s kmh-1
DECELARATION

STOP MOVING

v=0 TIME TAKEN u = 70


kmh-1 = 10s
kmh-1
ACCELERATION
is a measure of how fast velocity
changes.
is defined as the rate of change
of velocity.
KEEP IN AT
MOVING REST

v = 70 kmh-1, t u = o, t =
= 30s o

Perodua
DECELERATION

•is the rate of decrease in velocity.

Time
taken is
20s
v= u = 50 km
0 h-1

PROBLEM TO SOLVE
 A sprinterruns from the starting line and achieves a velocity
of 18ms-1 in 3s.
 Calculate his acceleration.

Answer:

We know that:
u = 0ms-1 a = v-u
v = 18ms-1 t
t = 3s = 18 - 0 ms-1
3 s
= 6 ms-2
