1. Define Acceleration
In physics, acceleration is a vector quantity that describes how quickly an object’s velocity changes. It is not just about how fast an object is moving, but how its speed or direction evolves during a specific interval.
2. Identify the Mathematical Formula
Acceleration (
) is calculated by dividing the change in velocity (
) by the time interval (
) during which the change occurred:
Where:
is the final velocity.
is the initial velocity.
is the time taken.
