//o-o\\: *napansin ang pananahimik ni Yagit* "Tol, ba't antahimik mo yata. Natatae ka ba?"

(¬_¬): *buntong hininga* "Hindi, brad. May iniisip lang ako."

//o-o\\: "Hmm... Iniisip mo pa rin ba ang sagot dun sa tanong sa Science kanina?"

(¬_¬): .....

//o-o\\: "Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of a moving object changes over time. To get the acceleration of an object, we must use the formula Vfminus V idivided by t, wherein Vf stands for Final Velocity with the unit of m/s, Vicorresponds to Initial Velocity with the same unit of m/s and finally t which is referred to as Time with the unit of s."

(¬_¬): .....

//o-o\\: "Let's say for example, a truck at rest drove 24 m/s, East to Manila in 30 seconds. The Vf is 24 m/s, East while the Vi is 0 since the truck was at rest before it moved, and finally the t is 30 seconds. Now, applying the formula, we must first deduct Vf with Vi. Therefore, 24 m/s, East minus 0. And the answer would be, of course, 24 m/s, East. Then, when we have the difference, we must divide it with t, which means; 24 m/s, East divided by 30 seconds. And we can now get the truck's acceleration which is..."

(¬_¬): "0.8 m/s2, East."

//o-o\\: "Exactly! See? Madali lang kung tutuusin. Medyo bopols lang talagang mag-explain 'yung titser naten tungkol sa Acceleration at sa simpleng Physics pero alam mo na naman 'yun, 'di ba?"

(¬_¬): "Na bopols 'yung titser naten? Oo. Matagal na."
