In this tutorial, I show you how to use video analysis to find the acceleration of a jumping grasshopper.

But let me go ahead and show the two graphs for velocity and position that go along with that same acceleration graph above. Actually, let me change the problem.

Learn the difference between distance, displacement, speed and velocity, and how to calculate distance, speed and acceleration.

It demonstrates the measurements to take to calculate velocity and acceleration. Students could be asked to predict the effect of increasing mass and increasing force on acceleration of an object.

What does it mean when people talk about g-forces in a collision? Here are some everyday examples of acceleration to give you a better sense of what's involved.
