Lesson 3: Acceleration

What determines an object's acceleration?

Can an object's acceleration change?

How can we predict an object's acceleration?

Velocity vs time graphs
Acceleration equation

HS-PS2-1. Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship
among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.

Stability and change. For natural and built systems alike, conditions of stability and

Acceleration is one of the characteristics that will be referenced and built upon throughout the year, whether it is in free-fall, related to Newton's Laws.

Students will need to be analyze graphs and make predictions based on said graphs.

A student is walking home from school and a dog begins to charge them. The student reacts by accelerating in the opposite direction, hoping the dog's acceleration doesn't exceed his.
