✒ Acceleration

• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
• It is defined as change of velocity of body per unit time.
• SI unit of acceleration is m/s².
• It is Vector Quantity.
• Acceleration = Change in velocity / time

= Final velocity - Initial velocity / time

= v - u / t

✒ There is two types of Acceleration

1. Uniform Acceleration

If the velocity changes in equal amounts in equal time of intervals and the object travels in a straight line than the uniform acceleration take place.

2. Non-uniform Acceleration

If the velocity changes in an equal amount in unequal intervals of time and object travels in straight line then non uniform acceleration take place.

-: Additional Information :-

-----------------------------------------

✏ Zero Acceleration -

If the change in velocity is zero that is either object is at rest or moving with uniform velocity than zero acceleration will take place.

✏ Positive Acceleration -

• When velocity of a body increases then positive acceleration take place.
• i.e v>u

✏ Negative Acceleration -

• When velocity of a body decreases the negative acceleration take place.
• It is in the opposite direction of velocity.
• i.e v<u

-----------------------------------------

✏ Example

$\boxed{Problem :-}$

A toy car accelerates from 3m/s to 5m/s in 5 s. What is its acceleration?

Answer:

$\blue{ \boxed{Answer :-}}$

Given: Initial Velocity u = 3m/s,

Final Velocity v = 5m/s,

Time taken t = 5s.

= v - u / t

= 5 - 3 / 5

= 2 /5

= - 0.4 m/s²

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.
