Acceleration close accelerationThe rate of change in speed (or velocity) is measured in metres per second squared. Acceleration = change of velocity ÷ time taken. is the rate of change of ...

Learn the uses of equations and graphs of motion and how to determine other aspects of the motion of objects. BBC Bitesize Scotland Higher Physics revision.

Since the acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the change in time, the slope of a velocity-time graph will be the acceleration of the car. Notice that I have fit four ...
