Acceleration

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The acceleration rate of a flea jumping works out to 50 times faster than the acceleration rate of the space shuttle. Pupils apply knowledge of acceleration to dot diagrams, velocity-time tables, and word problems. They solve for magnitude and direction of acceleration as one part in a series of 12 on dimensional kinematics.
