Concept explainers
In Chapter 4 we defined acceleration as the time rate of change of velocity. What other equation for acceleration is given in this chapter?
The other equation for acceleration.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Any object is accelerated when external force applied on it.
According to Newton’s second law of motion, if a force is applied on an object having mass m then it starts accelerating.
This means acceleration produced is directly proportional to magnitude of net force and inversely proportional to mass of an object.
Mathematically, it can be written as,
