Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How can we calculate acceleration?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. An object that slows down is decelerating
  2. (Physics only) Students should be able to interpret the changing motion in terms of the forces acting.
  3. Students should be able to estimate the magnitude of everyday accelerations.
  4. The acceleration of an object can be calculated from the gradient of a velocity?time graph.
  5. The following equation applies to uniform acceleration: final velocity 2 ? initial velocity 2 = 2 ? acceleration ? distance v2 ? u2 = 2 a s final velocity, v, in metres per second, m/s initial velocity, u, in metres per second, m/s acceleration, a, in metres per second squared, m/s2 distance, s, in metres, m
  6. Near the Earth?s surface any object falling freely under gravity has an acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What does decelerating mean?
    Decelerating means slowing down.
  2. (Physics only)
    (Physics only)
  3. How can the acceleration of an object be calculated from a velocity-time graph?
    The acceleration of an object can be calculated from the gradient of a velocity?time graph. The gradient of a graph is change of y divided by change in x, in this case is change in velocity divided by change in time.
  4. What equation applies to uniform acceleration and what are the units involved?
    The following equation applies to uniform acceleration: final velocity2 ? initial velocity2 = 2 ? acceleration ? distance v2 ? u2 = 2 a s final velocity, v, in metres per second, m/s initial velocity, u, in metres per second, m/s acceleration, a, in metres per second squared, m/s2 distance, s, in metres, m"
  5. What acceration does an object falling freely under gravity, near the Earth?s surface any object have?
    Near the Earth?s surface any object falling freely under gravity has an acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
