Lesson Plan: Acceleration over Distance and Time Physics

Start Practising

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to calculate acceleration using an object’s initial velocity, its displacement, and its acceleration time using the formula 𝑠 = 𝑒𝑑 + 1/2π‘Žπ‘‘Β².

Objectives

Students will be able to

  • derive the formula 𝑠=𝑒𝑑+12π‘Žπ‘‘οŠ¨ from a velocity–time graph,
  • derive the formula 𝑠=𝑒𝑑+12π‘Žπ‘‘οŠ¨ algebraically,
  • use the formula 𝑠=𝑒𝑑+12π‘Žπ‘‘οŠ¨ in all combinations.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

  • π‘Ž=Δ𝑣Δ𝑑.

Exclusions

Students will not cover

  • nonuniform acceleration,
  • 𝑣=𝑒+2π‘Žπ‘ οŠ¨οŠ¨.
