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 $ms^{-2} = m/s^2$
  1. The motion of a freely moving body is the example of uniform acceleration.
  2. If the object moving along the line is positive. same direction.
  3. If the object is moving in the opposite way it is negative. opposite direction.
