Intro to acceleration
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
You can accelerate through changing your speed or changing your direction or both. This was demonstrated in class using the "water cup" accelerometer model.
Acceleration graphs were explained as the slope of the velocity graph in much the same way the velocity graph is the slope of the distance vs. time graph.
We assigned all the review questions at the end of Chapter 2.
