Acceleration is a vector quantity. Its SI unit is Fig(2.12)(b)
metre per second per second (ms). Velocity of this car is
When velocity of an object increases or decreases decreasing
with passage of time, it causes acceleration. The
increase in velocity gives rise to positive acceleration
Fig (2.12) (a).It means the acceleration is in the direction
of velocity. Whereas acceleration due to decrease in
velocity is negative and is called deceleration or
retardation Fig (2.12) (b).The direction of deceleration is
opposite to that of change velocity.
