Acceleration (AQA GCSE Physics Combined Science): Flashcards

Change of an object's velocity over a given time

$a = \frac{\text{change in velocity}}{\text{time}}$

Constant velocity

Acceleration

Deceleration

Acceleration of the object

Distance travelled in a specific direction (displacement)

Acceleration is not constant

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Final velocity

Initial velocity

Around $9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$

Force of gravity

Upward force of friction with air particles
