write in detail about the .acceleration
Answers
What is Acceleration?
Acceleration is defined as:
The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Acceleration is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. It is also the second derivative of position with respect to time or it is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time.
What is the Unit of Acceleration?
The SI unit of acceleration is given as:
SI unit m/s2
Types of Acceleration
Uniform and Non-uniform acceleration
So can we have a situation when speed remains constant but the body is accelerated? Actually, it is possible in circular where speed remains constant but since the direction is changing hence the velocity changes, and the body is said to be accelerated.
Average acceleration
The average acceleration over a period of time is defined as the total change in velocity in the given interval divided by the total time taken for the change. For a given interval of time, it is denoted as ā.
