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 velocity. It ...

Constant Acceleration We are going to measure distance and time for an accelerating object and use that to find the acceleration. In the past, I would do this lab using a specialized drop timer.

Learn the difference between distance, displacement, speed and velocity, and how to calculate distance, speed and acceleration.

As a science website, it's easy to get bogged down in questions like "Is there life on Enceladus?" and "Where are all the aliens?", when people are struggling with more basic (but fun!) questions like ...
