ACCELERATION
Acceleration is defined as rate of change of Velocity.
Ie, acceleration = change in Velocity/time
Consider a body moving with an initial velocoty(u) reaches a final Velocity (v) in time (t).
Hence velocity is charged from u to v at time t body is accelerating.
Acceleration (a) = change in Velocity/ time
a = v - u/t
Unit of acceleration is m/s²
There are two types of acceleration
1. Positive acceleration
If the Velocity of a body is increasing with respect to time(body is increasing the speed) then the acceleration is considered to be Positive.
2. Negative acceleration (retardation)
If the Velocity of a body is decreasing with respect to time ( body is reducing the speed), then the acceleration is considered to be negative. It's also called as retardation.
