Key Concepts

* Acceleration: The rate at which an object's velocity changes.

* Velocity: Speed with direction.

* Positive Acceleration: The object is speeding up (increasing velocity).

* Negative Acceleration: The object is slowing down (decreasing velocity).

Describing the Motion

* Increasing Speed: The object is covering more distance in the same amount of time.

* Constant Acceleration: The object's velocity increases at a steady rate. For example, a car accelerating at a constant rate will be going 10 mph faster every second.

* Changing Direction (optional): The object's direction of motion can change while it's speeding up. For instance, a car accelerating around a curve is speeding up while changing its direction.

Examples

* A car accelerating from a stop sign.

* A ball rolling down a hill.

* A rocket launching into space.

Visualizing the Motion

* Distance-Time Graph: A speeding up object's distance-time graph will be curved upward. The steeper the curve, the faster the object is accelerating.

* Velocity-Time Graph: A speeding up object's velocity-time graph will be a straight line sloping upward. The steeper the line, the faster the acceleration.
