What is its acceleration?,Concept Test 1,A particular car can go from rest to 90 km/h in 10 s. What is its acceleration?(90 km/h 0)/10 s = 9 km/h/s,Concept Test 2,2. In 2

5、.5 s a car increases its speed from 60 km/h to 65 km/h while a bicycle goes from rest to 5 km/h. Which undergoes the greater acceleration? What is the acceleration of each vehicle?,Concept Test 2,2. In 2.5 s a car increases its speed from 60 km/h to 65 km/h while a bicycle goes from rest to 5 km/h.

6、Which undergoes the greater acceleration? What is the acceleration of each vehicle?Car: (65 km/h 60 km/h)/2.5 s = 2 km/h/s Bike: (5 km/h 0)/2.5 s = 2 km/h/s,Galileo and the Ramp,Ball rolls down ramp with constant accelerationWhat is the value when the ramp is vertical?9.8 m/s/s or 10 m/s/s among fri
