Definition of accelerationThe rate of change of velocity which is an example of a vector quantity is called acceleration. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s2.Formulaacceleration=finalvelocity-initialvelocitytimeacceleration=Changeinvelocitytimea=vf-vita=∆vtHere,a is the acceleration.vf is the final velocity.vi is the initial velocity.t is the time interval.Δv is the small change in the velocity.Different types of accelerationThere are three types of acceleration, such as:Uniform acceleration: When an object is traveling in a straight line with a uniform increase in velocity at equal intervals of time, then the object is said to be in uniform acceleration. The free-falling of an object is an example of uniform acceleration.Non-uniform acceleration: When an object is traveling with a uniform increase in velocity but not at equal intervals of time is known as non-uniform acceleration. Bus moving or leaving from the bus stop is an example of non-uniform acceleration.Instantaneous acceleration: The acceleration of an object at any instant of time is known as instantaneous acceleration.
