Question
Write the formula for acceleration. Give the meaning of each symbol which occurs in it.

Solution
Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time; it is a vector quantity.
`"Acceleration" = "Change in velocity"/"Time taken"`
The above expression can also be written as :
`a = (v-u)/t`
Where,
a = Acceleration
v = Final velocity
u = Initial velocity
t = Time taken
