Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
To calculate acceleration, you must first measure an object's initial velocity (u) and its final velocity (v) at a specific time interval (t). Then, use the formula a = (v-u)/t, where "a" is acceleration.
Rubber bands can affect acceleration by providing a force that opposes the movement of the object. As the rubber bands stretch, they build up potential energy which is converted into kinetic energy when released, causing the object to accelerate.
Yes, the number of rubber bands can affect acceleration. More rubber bands means a greater opposing force, resulting in a faster acceleration of the object.
The weight of the object can affect acceleration with rubber bands by increasing the force required to stretch the rubber bands. This means that a heavier object may have a slower acceleration compared to a lighter object with the same number of rubber bands.
