What is acceleration?

When an object increases velocity

What is deceleration?

When an object decreases velocity

Which equation is the key kinematic equation for uniform acceleration?

v=u+atv = u + at

In v=u+atv = u + at, what sign is aa when an object is slowing down?

Negative

What shape does a velocity-time graph form when there is a speed limit?

Trapezoidal

What are the three stages of motion with a speed limit?

Accelerate, constant speed, decelerate

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

Total distance travelled

What shape forms on a v-t graph when there is no speed limit?

Triangular

Starting from rest with a=1a = 1 m/s² to reach v=16v = 16 m/s, what is tt?

16 seconds

From u=16u = 16 m/s to rest with a=−2a = -2 m/s², what is tt?

8 seconds

For triangular motion, what is the total time formula?

T=3v2T = \frac{3v}{2}

For 300m triangular motion, solving 3v24=300\frac{3v^2}{4} = 300 gives which max velocity?

20 m/s

What should always be the first step in solving acceleration problems?

Sketch the velocity-time graph
