Answer 1

Change in velocity is called acceleration.

Answer 2

⚘Question:

• what is acceleration?

⚘Answer:

✶ Acceleration in simple terms is defined as rate of change of velocity of an object . We can say that an object is accelerating if it changes its velocity respective to the time taken. You can also define it as a measure of the change in the velocity of an object per unit time. Acceleration can be caused due to either of the factors which are :

⠀⠀• The change it the speed of an object

⠀⠀• The change in the motion of an object

⠀⠀• Or both of them

➤ Basic terms :

Q] ${\large{\tt{\purple {Velocity : }}}}$

• Velocity is defined as the speed at which an object moves in a particular direction.

↛ The factors which may change the velocity of an object are as follows which lead to the acceleration of an object

• Speeding up of an object
• Slow down of an object
• Change in the motion of an object

$\rule{300}{3}$

➛ Examples of acceleration :

↝An apple falling down

↝A vehicle speeding up

↝An athlete running on a race track

↝A butterfly flying

↝An old man jogging

↝A person walking

$\rule{300}{3}$

➙ Formula to find acceleration :

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: { \pink{ \dag \: \: { \boxed{ \tt{a = \frac{(v - u)}{t} }} \star}}}$

➸ Where,

• A denotes Acceleration
• V denotes Final velocity
• U denotes Intial velocity
