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.
(velocity, t = 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.
