Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. When an object accelerates, it changes its velocity either by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
The formula for calculating acceleration is:
acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time taken)
Where:
There are several types of acceleration, including:
The SI unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s2).
Here are some key points to remember about acceleration:
Remember to practice using the acceleration formula and understanding the different types of acceleration to master this topic!
