Average Acceleration – Definition
The change in velocity divided by the elapsed time is the average acceleration. For example, if a marble’s velocity increases from 0 to 60 cm/s in three seconds, its average acceleration is 20 cm/s. This indicates that every second, the marble’s velocity will rise by 20 cm/s. Acceleration for an object is defined as the…

Definition & Examples
Acceleration for an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Average acceleration for an interval is defined as the change in velocity for that interval per time Understanding acceleration is important in our everyday lives, as well as in the wide expanses of space and the microscopic world of subatomic physics. Applying the…
