Acceleration

Let’s get to it.Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity. It is how the velocity changes. When car companies brag about how quickly their vehicles go from 0 to 60, they are talking about the acceleration.They are talking about how quickly their car's velocity can change from 0 mph to 60 mph.Objects don’t just stay at a constant velocity, always moving at 2 m/s. They speed up and slow down. That change from 2 m/s to 10 m/s as an object speeds up or from 2 m/s to 1 m/s as the object slows down, is the acceleration.We can make a connection here.We talked about velocity as change in position over time.Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.
