» Acceleration

Acceleration indicates the change in velocity per unit of time. The symbol for acceleration is a. The SI unit for acceleration is metres per second squared (m/s2 or m·s-2).

Acceleration

$$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$$


where,

Δv— change in velocity
Δt— time during which the change in velocity occurs.
