  1. Connecting motion and forces (article) | Khan Academy

    An object's acceleration —how quickly its velocity changes—depends on the strength of the net force exerted on it. A stronger net force causes a greater acceleration if the object's mass …

  3. Position, velocity, and speed (video) | Khan Academy

    But when it comes to speed, speed says, "Well, I don't care about where your initial and final position is. All I care about is how much distance you've traveled, and you have traveled some …

  4. Introduction to rotational motion review (article) | Khan Academy

    Rotational motion describes the overall movement of an object as it spins around an axis, while angular motion refers to the quantities used to describe that rotation, such as displacement, …

  5. Race cars with constant speed around curve - Khan Academy

    Acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity. Velocity is a vector. If the direction changes, the velocity changes, even though the speed does not. Therefore a change in direction is …

  6. Motion problems (with definite integrals) - Khan Academy

    Definite integrals are commonly used to solve motion problems, for example, by reasoning about a moving object's position given information about its velocity. Learn how this is done and …

  7. Acceleration (video) | Motion | Khan Academy

    Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per …

  8. What is acceleration? (article) | Khan Academy

    Acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or …

  9. Falling objects (video) | Gravitation | Khan Academy

    Air resistance will affect you and will slow down the acceleration until you hit terminal velocity (the fastest speed an object can go under gravity and drag [air resistance]) or hit the ground before …

  10. Calculating average velocity or speed (video) | Khan Academy

    Acceleration is the change in velocity over the time taken to make the change. This will, then, be influenced by the angle between the final and initial velocities.
