AccelerATION
What is acceleration?
Newton describes acceleration as the increase in speed of an object this is moving and not moving. For instance, when an object is dropped the speed of that object increases as time goes on. That is acceleration. When an opposing force , a hockey stick makes contact with the puck, its the rate of speed changes from nothing, to an increased rate.
Acceleration Equation
To find the acceleration of an object you take the distance traveled divided by the time it took.
It took a hockey player to travel 5 meters in 10 seconds how fast was his acceleration?
