Question

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of________

Answer 1

Acceleration

1. It is denoted by $a$.
2. $a=\frac{dv}{dt}(v=velocity,t=time)$.
3. $v=\frac{dis\tan ce}{time}$, here unit of distance is in meters and time in seconds and thus the unit of velocity is $m/s$.
4. Therefore, the unit of acceleration is $m/s^2$.

Thus, acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity.
