What is acceleration?

• Rate of change of speed

• Change in position over time

• Rate of change of distance

• Rate of change of velocity

How is acceleration calculated?

• Change in distance divided by time taken.

• Change in speed divided by time taken.

• Change in velocity divided by time taken

• Change in position divided by time taken.
