o Use the formula to calculate the average velocity, displacement
and time interval for an object in uniform motion, given appropriate
data
(include a sample question and calculation)

Chapter 13 Acceleration
PLO – C7
Section 13.1 page 373 – Accelerating Objects
o Define:
-
positive acceleration
-
negative acceleration
-
zero acceleration
o Give examples of positive, negative and zero acceleration, including
falling objects
-
accelerating from rest
-
slowing down or stopping
-
uniform motion
o given initial velocity, final velocity and the time interval,
calculate acceleration using the formulas as follows (e.g.
for falling objects)
(include a sample question and calculation)
Chapter 13.2 page 380 – Graphing Acceleration
