Explore illustrated examples and try some practice acceleration problems to better understand this vector quantity in physics.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to draw a velocity-time graph and what it represents.

In this interactive physics tutorial, students investigate the relationships between two methods available to solve problems involving the numerical relationships between displacement, velocity, acceleration and time.

Learn more about the properties of velocity, acceleration, and force vectors in this illustrated article.

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for uniform circular motion, including centripetal acceleration and the difference between linear and angular velocity.

In this lab, students investigate the motion of toy cars and collect data to analyze the speed of the vehicle between various points and overall speed.

What do you think of when you hear the word motion? Are you moving right now? You may not think so, but you are. Remember, the Earth is moving around the Sun, and the Sun is moving around the Milky Way Galaxy. Everything in the universe...

Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.

This project is an experiment in classical physics. You'll be following in Galileo's footsteps, and investigating Newton's laws of motion, but you'll be taking advantage of modern video recording technology to make your measurements. The...

Using only two of our fundamental units, time and displacement students will build a framework to predict the motion of objects, starting with one dimensional motion.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Using the average acceleration formula, calculate the velocity of a falling ball, and then check your answer by dragging the point along the line in the given graph. After the activity, answer one...

Observe the animation of the three cars. Use the animation to answer three questions about their acceleration and velocity.

Learners investigate acceleration. Some topics examined are average acceleration, instantaneous acceleration, and velocity. The resource includes example problems with solutions and a chapter quiz.

A lab investigation of an accelerating object can be difficult without motion sensors or computer photogates. The accelerating object can gain velocity in such a way that it moves a great distance in a short time.

This PBS site is a classroom activity that takes a trip to a black hole. Students apply calculations on distance, velocity, acceleration, time, circular motion, density, and more.

This lesson focuses on Newton's First Law: an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it. If the resultant force on an object is zero, this means: a stationary object stays stationary; a moving object...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the lesson students study the derivatives of rational functions and higher derivatives of polynomial functions. Students examine guided notes, review guided...

Students explore how a satellite's motion is governed by the same physics principles and described by the same mathematical equations.

Students examine examples of vectors that are directed in two dimensions- upward and rightward, northward and westward, eastward and southward, etc.

This page features a summary of each section of Chapter 6: Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation from the AP Physics online text.

This unit includes two sequential lessons. In the first, students create mobile apps that collect data from an Android device's accelerometer and then store that data to a database. This lesson provides practice with MIT's App Inventor...

Students conduct an experiment to study the acceleration of a mobile Android device. During the experiment, they run an application created with MIT's App Inventor that monitors linear acceleration in one-dimension. Students use an...

This brief overview distinguishes speed and velocity. Vectors are explained along with acceleration and gravitation. Diagrams are used to help explain these concepts.
