Meaning
Acceleration is an increase in speed.
About Acceleration
- The opposite of acceleration is deceleration which is to slow down.
- Acceleration happens when an object experiences Unbalanced Forces.
Acceleration Equation
\[a = {\tfrac{v-u}{t}} \]
- Where:
a = acceleration v = final speed u = initial speed t = time
