Question

Which one is correct:

Average acceleration of an object is the:

Change in its position divided by the change in time
Change in time divided by the change in its position
Change in its velocity divided by the change in time
Change in time divided by the change in its velocity

Answer 1

Option (c) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration of an object is given by the formula as follows :

`a=(v-u)/(t)`

Where

u and v are initial and final velocity

t is time

(v-u) is also called the change in velocity

So, the acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity. Hence, the correct option is (c) " Change in its velocity divided by the change in time".
