Question
Define acceleration and state its SI unit. For motion along a straight line, when do we consider the acceleration to be:
  1. Positive.
  2. Negative? Give an example of a body in uniform acceleration.
✓

Answer

  1. Acceleration is the rate of the measure of the change in the velocity of the moving object per unit time. Si unit is ms-2 = m/s2
  1. If the object moving along the line is positive. same direction.
  2. If the object is moving in the opposite way it is negative. opposite direction.
  1. The motion of a freely moving body is the example of uniform acceleration.
