represent in the acceleration formula?
Acceleration
If the change in velocity is positive, the
acceleration
is positive.
The SI unit of acceleration is
meters
per second squared.

Positive acceleration occurs when an object's
velocity
increases over time.
Negative acceleration is also known as deceleration or
retardation
.
What happens to the direction of velocity during positive acceleration?
Increases
Negative acceleration has a
negative
sign.
How is acceleration defined?
Rate of change of velocity
If the change in velocity is negative, the acceleration is
negative
.
The SI unit of acceleration is meters per
second squared
.
Acceleration is the rate of change of
velocity
The change in velocity is the difference between final and initial
velocities
Newton's Second Law relates force,
mass
, and acceleration.
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over
time
