This video provides a crucial introduction to acceleration, the fundamental concept in kinematics that describes how an object’s velocity changes over time.
Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning its direction is just as important as its magnitude. You will learn that the direction of the acceleration vector is always identical to the direction of the change in velocity vector and how to draw it. This relationship determines whether an object is speeding up (when acceleration and velocity vectors point in the same direction) or slowing down (when they point in opposite directions).
We also cover how to determine acceleration using graphs: the acceleration is the slope of the velocity-versus-time graph.
Mastering these concepts is the essential third step in understanding motion, following position and displacement, and is required for solving problems involving motion with constant acceleration (kinematics).
