Answer:
Time elapsed
Explanation:
Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is defined as:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time elapsed
Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). It must be noticed that acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction. In particular:
- when acceleration is negative, it means that the object is slowing down, so acceleration is in opposite direction to the velocity
- when acceleration is positive, it means that the object is speeding up, so acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity
