Theory

Velocity is defined as the rate and direction of motion of an object. Acceleration is a change in velocity, either in speed or direction. Uniform acceleration occurs when an object changes velocity at uniform intervals while moving in a straight line.

Theory

Velocity is defined as a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion. To put it simply,
velocity is the speed in which something moves in a particular direction. Any change in the velocity of an
object results in an acceleration: increasing speed (what people usually mean when they say
acceleration), decreasing speed (also called deceleration or retardation), or changing direction (called
centripetal acceleration). A change in the direction of motion results in an acceleration because
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. The trolley . When an object is moving along a
straight line and its acceleration at every instant is the same, then we say that it has a constant
acceleration. Uniform acceleration happens when an object moves in a straight line (direction does not
change) and change in velocity has uniform intervals. If an object speeds up then slows down then
speeds up it doesn't have uniform acceleration.

Computations

Acceleration of an object is measured through the change in velocity over time. Having change in
velocity means there is an initial and final velocity needed for the computation
