Question

What is Acceleration?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Depends on what are you looking at. All of the following are valid definitions, it just depends on which way you are analizing the problem.

From a kinematics point of view:

Acceleration is, by definition, is a vector quantity that measures the rate of change of the rate of change in position (add brackets if it helps visualizing the idea). This leads to the following different definitions - which are more like means of calculating it

• the second derivative of position with respect to time $a = \ddot x= \frac{d}{dt}({\frac d{dt}} x)$;

• the first derivative of velocity with respect to time $a = \dot v = \frac d{dt} v$.

From a dinamics point of view

Acceleration is the effect of a force applied to a body, and measures the ratio of the force applied to a body of mass m and the mass itself (which is another formulation of Newton second law):

$a = \frac Fm$

Answer 2

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

 

To define acceleration, We need to know more about motion.

Motion: This can be defined as the change in position of a body from one point to another. When an object accelerates, it undergoes motion.

Definition

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is meter-per-squared seconds. (m/s²)

The formula of acceleration is

• a = (v-u)/t................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

• a = acceleration
• u = initial velocity
• v = final velocity
• t = time

Hence, Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
