SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q43

Acceleration is equal to the rate of change of ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. velocity

  • Acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity.
  • It is denoted by a.

    a=dvdta= {dv\over dt} (velocity, t = time)

    v=distancetimev= {distance\over time}, here unit of distance is in meters and time in seconds and thus the unit of velocity is m/s.

    Therefore, the unit of acceleration is m/s2

    Thus, acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity.
