Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity
The slope of a velocity time graph tells us what the acceleration is doing.
Avoid this formula – except when interpreting graphs…
To know an object’s final velocity we need to know:
- its starting or initial velocity
- its rate of acceleration (if any)
- the amount of time that it accelerated for
