Question

The rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time is called ..........

• A. Momentum
• B. Displacement
• C. Acceleration
  
• D. Impulse

Answer 1

The correct option is C Acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time. Accelerations are vector quantities. The orientation of an object's acceleration is given by the orientation of the net force acting on that object.

$\text{acceleration}=\frac{\text{Change in the velociity}}{\text{time}}$
