Module 5-6 – Acceleration

Activity No. 1: “Did They Accelerate?”

Direction: Determine the situation given below if acceleration exists or
not. Write AE (Acceleration Exists) if the statement indicates acceleration
and NA (No Acceleration) if not. (5points)
_________1. A boy that is walking at a constant speed, as he reached the
corner of the street he turned left.
_________2. A bus with a constant speed of 60 km/hr running in a
straight line.
_________3. A car from rest gained a speed of 40 km/hr.
_________4. A racing car that is about to reach the finish line increases
its speed at its maximum.
_________5. A flying airplane that has a speed of 500 mi/hr and after 10
minutes it slows downs to 400 mi/hr.

Wrap Up

concept of acceleration. Choose the correct answer from the words
provided in the box below. (7points)
1.________________ is a vector quantity that is defined as the
rate at which an object changes its 2.______________. An object is
accelerating if it is changing its velocity. When an object just
maintained its 3.__________ and direction there will be no
acceleration. But when an object changed its speed,
4.___________or both acceleration exists. There are two types of
acceleration, those are positive acceleration and 5._____________
acceleration. Positive acceleration takes place when the speed of
