Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration= Velocity / Time. Three equations of motion can also be used to determine acceleration- 1. v*v= u*u + 2aS 2. S= ut+1/2 at*t 3. v= u+at Unit of acceleration= m/s*s (metre per second square)

the general form of the units for acceleration are distance per time squared, such as m/s2.
define the following write the units and formula
Assuming that your units of velocity are in units/second Acceleration = (velocity 2 - velocity 1) / time Acceleration = (4.9 - 0) / 3 Acceleration =1.63 *With correct significant figures the answer is 2
Rate of change of speed. It can be the units for acceleration but need not be.
