Uniform Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change in an object's velocity. For right
now we will just consider the change in an object's speed.
If an object is accelerating at a constant rate, what that means is that
the object gets faster each second by the same amount. For example. If an
object was accelerting at 10 m/s/s this means it gets 10 m/s faster every
second. This is illustrated below.
at 0 seconds the object is moving 0 m/s
at 1 second the object is moving 10 m/s
at 2 seconds the object is moving 20 m/s
at 3 seconds the object will be moving at 30 m/s
The equation for acceleration is a = deltav/time
