Explain your answer on the lines below. How do signs Indicate changes in acceleration? Recall that forward motion is defined as positive and backward motion is defined as negative. Different factors can help you decide if an object s acceleration is positive or negative, as shown in the table below: A Create a Quiz NAft have read this IfliTFve opestion qutz based on what you have learned. Repeat the quiz until you get alt the answers correct. How can you calculate a change in velocity? A change in velocity () occurs when the speed of an object changes, or its direction of motion changes, or both. Changes in velocity can be either positive or negative. To find a change in velocity, subtract the initial velocity () from the final velocity (i,). = 1w V1 V1 How do signs indicate changes in velocity? North, east, up, and right are considered positive ( ) and south, west, down, and left are negative ( ). If you slow down from 9 ni/s forward (positive) to m/s forward (positive), your change in velocity is as follows: 1w = = + rn/s (+9 m/s) = 7 m/s Your change in velocity is 7 ni/s opposite the forward motion. Your initial forward direction is positive, so your change in velocity is negative when you slow down. Factor Velocity Acceleration hicrease in speed while travelling forwad, osiive) + + (positive) e.g., acceleratng after you have stopped at a stop sign decrease in speed while apply travelling forward, e.g., + (positive). (negative) Ing the brakes on a bicycle - - increase hi speed while (negative) travelling backward, e.g., a ball talhng to earth no change in speed, constant 0 e.g., running at a constant speed Note that an object that is slowing down is changing its velocity; therefore, it is accelerating. Acceleration in a direction that is opposite the direction of motion is sometimes called deceleration. 0 Reading Check 1. Define acceleration. What is acceleration? Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of a moving object changes. A change in velocity can be a change in either speed or direction. Thus, acceleration occurs when the speed of an object changes, or its direction of motion changes, or both. Acceleration is a rate of change. This means it also takes into account how quickly the velocity changes. 0
