What do you mean by acceleration?

Solution

Acceleration:

  1. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, either in terms of speed or direction or both.
  2. Even if the speed is constant, the motion of a circle is accelerated because the direction is constantly changing.
  3. A falling apple, the moon orbiting the earth, or a car stopped at a traffic light are all examples of bodies under acceleration.
