Q

Acceleration Definition & Equation

A
  • Acceleration is the velocity per unit time
    -Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
    -Unit- ms (-1)/s = ms (-1)
    Acceleration is a VECTOR quantity
    -change in velocity= final velocity - initial velocity
    = v - u
    Acceleration = change in velocity/time or v - u/t
