Define Acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. An object is changing acceleration if it is changing its velocity.

It is a vector quantity

Mathematically, Acceleration is given by,                                  

$a = \frac{v - u}{ t}$

where, a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u =initial velocity, t = time period

The units of velocity are meter/second2 (m/s2).
