Acceleration
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration is inherently a vector quantity, and an object will have non-zero acceleration if its speed and/or direction is changing.
Motion with constant acceleration
Java Applet showing the position, velocity and acceleration of a car undergoing constant acceleration
Acceleration
Animations and a quiz which explores, at a simple level, acceleration.
Gravitational Acceleration in Schwarzschild Coordinates
Derivation of acceleration for a particle in a radial orbit in Schwarzchild geometry which, surprisingly, depends on its trajectory.
Negative Velocity and Negative Acceleration
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving with negative velocity and negative acceleration. Links to 'The Physics ...
Positive Velocity and Negative Acceleration
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving with positive velocity and negative acceleration.
Negative Velocity and Positive Acceleration
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving with negative velocity and positive acceleration.
Constant Accelerated Motion
Graphs of displacement, velocity and acceleration, and their derivation using calculus, for constant acceleration.
Positive Velocity and Positive Acceleration
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving with positive velocity and positive acceleration.
