Question

How is acceleration calculated?

Acceleration equals velocity.

Acceleration equals speed multiplied by time.

Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by time.

Acceleration equals distance divided by time.

Answer 1

Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by :

`a=(v-u)/(t)`

Where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time taken

It is a vector quantity. Its SI unit is
`m/s^2`

(v-u) is called the change in speed of the object. So, the correct statement is ''Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by time''.
