Lesson 7 Acceleration


  Acceleration

There is a strong relationship between, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time when looking at an object’s motion.

You have spent this section of the unit looking at how the relationship between, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time relate to an object in motion. Through calculations, and graphs, you have learned how to determine and predict factors about an object’s motion.

In the last section of this unit, we will step back to the topics of types of energy and energy conservation and heat transfer to investigate, describe, and predict the efficiency of energy transformation in technological systems.
