Solution

Acceleration:
Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity with respect to time is called acceleration.
The change in the velocity of an object could be either increases or decreases.
Acceleration has both magnitude and direction ,so it called a vector quantity.
Formula = $\frac{f i n a l v e l o c i t y - i n i t i a l v e l o c i t y}{t i m e}$ .
Unit of acceleration is $\frac{m e t r e}{s e c o n d^{2}} .$
