What Is Acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity — how quickly something speeds up or slows down.
Formula
a = (v − v₀) / tExample
Accelerating from 0 to 20 m/s in 5 seconds = 4 m/s².
Frequently Asked Questions
What is gravitational acceleration?
On Earth, g ≈ 9.81 m/s². Objects in free fall accelerate at this rate.
What's the difference between acceleration and velocity?
Velocity is speed in a direction. Acceleration is how fast velocity changes.
