Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration

Hi folks!

Thus far we have been learning about scalar and vector quantities.  The scalar quantities that we have described are distance and speed.  The vector quantities that we have described at displacement, velocity, and now acceleration.  Remember in all vector quantities direction plays a very important role!  In order to communicate direction we have used points on a compass (NSEW), and positive and negative integers.  Remember, negative integers usually imply an opposing direction.

To recap what we have learned about these concepts and for a brief introduction to acceleration, please check out this video!

Also, another good (and very cute) introductory video to acceleration can be found here.  You won't regret watching this one!

Enjoy!
