Acceleration
Hi, everyone. Today I am going to be talking a bit about acceleration. First of all, my class came to the conclusion that acceleration is the change in speed of an object over time. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. A lot of sports announcers say that acceleration is when a person is moving fast. Acceleration actually does not have anything to do with going fast. An object could be going fast but that doesn't mean that it is accelerating. To accelerate, the object has to change its speed over time.
When an object changes its velocity by the same amount each second, that is called constant acceleration. Many times acceleration is confused with a different term or meaning.
