Rectilinear acceleration
• Concept of acceleration
• Uniform/non-uniform acceleration
• Velocity – time graph


At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:
• Explain the concept of uniform motion, instantaneous speed/velocity and uniform acceleration
• Determine acceleration from a velocity - time graph
