Lesson 2Acceleration 24.Imagine riding a bike as in the images below. You start off not moving at all, then move slowly, and then faster and faster each second. Your velocity is changing. You are accelerating. SS TEMIZELI 5 taentity undertine the two components of a vector. Acceleration Measures a Change in Velocity Just as velocity measures a rate of change in position, acceleration measures a rate of change in velocity. Acceleration (ackeSELL«uherayeshuhn) is the rate at which velocity changes. ‘Velocity is a vector, having both a magnitude and direction, and ifeither of these change, then the velocity changes. So, an object accelerates if its speed, its direction of motion, or both change. Keep in mind that acceleration depends not only on how (Fach seconds the A much velocity changes, but also on how much time that change | cyelist’s southwrate g takes.
