Answer 2

Answer: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as change in rate of velocity with respect to time.

It is measured in meter per seconds square i.e.
`m/s^2`.

Mathematically written as:

`a=(dv)/(dt)`

Or acceleration =
`\frac{\text{velocity}}{\text{time taken}}`
