Lesson: Acceleration over Time Physics • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze the motion of objects that change their velocity in some amount of time, by using the formula for acceleration, a = ∆v/∆t.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use the formula in all combinations,
distinguish between acceleration in and opposite to the direction of initial velocity,
identify uniformly accelerated motion on velocity–time and displacement–time graphs.
