3. Acceleration _________
Velocity is a vector quantity therefore, acceleration is also a vector quantity
Average acceleration, aav, is the change in velocity divided by the time interval for that change:
where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, and Δt is the time interval.
Instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration any particular instant —but often just referred to as acceleration

4. Acceleration Units What units do you end up with for acceleration?
= m/s = m/s2 s
