PHY 101 Kinematics in One Dimension Objective Question

Question

Acceleration is fundamentally defined as the time rate of change of
Options
A displacement.
B distance.
C velocity.
Correct Answer
D position.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Acceleration measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing. It is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time interval over which that change occurs (a = Δv/Δt).

Hint

The definition follows from the concept: velocity changes, and acceleration quantifies that rate of change.
