Acceleration (OCR GCSE Physics A (Gateway Science Suite)): 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

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

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

Force of gravity

Upward force of friction with air particles

After some time falling, when the forces balance
