Question

How is the acceleration of a moving object determined?

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration a is given by, a = (v - u) / (t2 - t1)

Explanation:

You are required to measure the velocity of object at two instances, say t1 and t2. Then you compute the acceleration using the suitable formula.

Let u = initial velocity of object at time t1 second

Let v = final velocity of object at time t2 second

Let a = acceleration of the object.

Now a - acceleration of the object - is given by the formula:

a = (v - u) / (t2 - t1)
