Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate that an object changes it's velocity. Acceleration has to do with changing how fast an object is moving. The formula for acceleration is a = v2 - v1 / t. V2 means final velocity, v1 means initial velocity and t means time.
A dancer that's speeding up across the dance floor and is changing their velocity is accelerating.

Questions:
How much acceleration does a dancer have if they initially go 5 m/s/s then begin to go 8 m/s/s in 3 seconds?
(ANSWER: 1 m/s/s)
Is a dancer that is not changing their velocity really accelerating?
(ANSWER: No, the velocity needs to be changing to be accelerating)
