How to Find Acceleration
How to Find Acceleration
- Rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. It is a vector quantity
- where u is the initial velocity of the object, v is its final velocity and t is the time taken.
- Unit of acceleration = m/s2 or ms-2
- If the velocity of a body decreases, then it will experience a negative acceleration which is called deceleration or retardation.
- Figure shows a car moving along a straight line. The speedometer of the car shows that it is moving with increasing velocity. The car is accelerating.
