Acceleration refers to the rate at which an object s velocity changes over time. It is a fundamental concept in physics, especially in kinematics and dynamics.
| Key Points | Description |
| Definition | Change in velocity per unit time. |
| Unit | Meter per second squared (m/s²). |
| Formula | $ a = frac{Delta v}{Delta t} $ |
| Types | Positive, negative, and zero acceleration. |
| Example | A car speeding up from 0 to 60 km/h. |
Understanding acceleration helps in analyzing motion in various fields, including engineering, sports, and transportation. It is essential for designing safe vehicles and optimizing performance.
