Click on the image at the left to download and play the PhET Maze Game from the University of Colorado at Boulder. If you think you understand the concept of acceleration, try the Acceleration setting on the game for Level 2. See the red circles in the image below. |

Hopefully, you can get a clearer understanding of acceleration by reading this section of the textbook. |
