Acceleration
• How fast is your position changing? Velocity
• How fast is your velocity changing? Acceleration
• Both velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both direction and magnitude.
• But velocity and acceleration are two different concepts.

Instantaneous Acceleration
• Instantaneous acceleration is average acceleration when the time interval becomes very, very small.
• On a velocity-time graph, the instantaneous acceleration at any time is given by the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that time.

Negative acceleration
Acceleration is a vector quantity. Negative sign of acceleration indicates
direction only. Negative acceleration does not necessarily
mean slowing down Think of acceleration as a push in a direction
(though not exactly correct.)

Free-Fall Motion
• Assume no air resistance. (Valid when speed is not too fast.)
• a = g, downward (g = 9.8 m/s2) Acceleration can be positive or negative, depending on what we
define as the positive direction. g is always a positive number, equivalent to 9.81 m/s2. Does not matter if the object is on its way up, on its way down,
or at the very top.
g is acceleration due to gravity (It is not gravity.) g does not depend on mass of object.

Free-Fall motion equations
These equation are valid only when downward is defined as the positive direction.
Not valid when upward is defined as the positive direction. (Must replace every g with –g.)
No need to remember these equations.

Terms to remember
Drop, release initial velocity is zero with respect to hand. (Initial means at the moment right after it leaves hand.)
Throw initial velocity is not zero with respect to hand.
When it hits the ground right before it hits the ground.
Rest v = 0 At top of ascent v = 0
